The hybrid/heterogeneous nature of future microprocessors and large high-performance computing systems will result in a reliance on two major types of components: multicore/manycore central processing units and special purpose hardware/massively parallel accelerators. While these technologies have numerous benefits, they also pose substantial performance challenges for developers, including scalability, software tuning, and programming issues. Researchers at the Forefront Reveal Results from Their Own State-of-the-Art Work Edited by some of the top researchers in the field and with contributions from a variety of international experts, Scientific Computing with Multicore and Accelerators focuses on the architectural design and implementation of multicore and manycore processors and accelerators, including graphics processing units (GPUs) and the Sony Toshiba IBM (STI) Cell Broadband Engine (BE) currently used in the Sony PlayStation 3. The book explains how numerical libraries, such as LAPACK, help solve computational science problems; explores the emerging area of hardware-oriented numerics; and presents the design of a fast Fourier transform (FFT) and a parallel list ranking algorithm for the Cell BE. It covers stencil computations, auto-tuning, optimizations of a computational kernel, sequence alignment and homology, and pairwise computations. The book also evaluates the portability of drug design applications to the Cell BE and illustrates how to successfully exploit the computational capabilities of GPUs for scientific applications. It concludes with chapters on dataflow frameworks, the Charm++ programming model, scan algorithms, and a portable intracore communication framework. Explores the New Computational Landscape of Hybrid Processors By offering insight into the process of constructing and effectively using the technology, this volume provides a thorough and practical introduction to the area of hybrid computing. It discusses introductory concepts and simple examples of parallel computing, logical and performance debugging for parallel computing, and advanced topics and issues related to the use and building of many applications.

Parallel Computing is a compelling vision of how computation can seamlessly scale from a single processor to virtually limitless computing power. Unfortunately, the scaling of application performance has not matched peak speed, and the programming burden for these machines remains heavy. The applications must be programmed to exploit parallelism in the most efficient way possible. Today, the responsibility for achieving the vision of scalable parallelism remains in the hands of the application developer.

This book represents the collected knowledge and experience of over 60 leading parallel computing researchers. They offer students, scientists and engineers a complete sourcebook with solid coverage of parallel computing hardware, programming considerations, algorithms, software and enabling technologies, as well as several parallel application case studies. The Sourcebook of Parallel Computing offers extensive tutorials and detailed documentation of the advanced strategies produced by research over the last two decades

Parallel Computing is at the verge of a new era. Multi-core processors make parallel computing a fundamental skill required by all computer scientists. At the same time, high-end systems have surpassed the Peta?op barrier, and s- ni?cant e?orts are devoted to the development of hardware and software te- nologies for the next-generation Exascale systems. To reach this next stage, processor architectures, high-speed interconnects and programming models will go through dramatic changes. The Message Passing Interface (MPI) has been the most widespread programming model for parallel systems of today. A key questions of upcoming Exascale systems is whether and how MPI has to evolve inordertomeettheperformanceandproductivitydemandsofExascalesystems. EuroMPI is the successor of the EuroPVM/MPI series, a ?agship conf- ence for this community, established as the premier international forum for - searchers,usersandvendorsto presenttheir latestadvancesinMPIandmessage th passingsystemingeneral.The17 EuropeanMPIusersgroupmeetingwasheld in Stuttgart during September 12-15,2010.The conferencewasorganizedbythe High Performance Computing Center Stuttgart at the University of Stuttgart.

Welcome to the proceedings of ISPA 2005 which was held in the city of Nanjing. Parallel computing has become a mainstream research area in computer science and the ISPA conference has become one of the premier forums for the presentation of new and exciting research on all aspects of parallel computing. We are pleased to present the proceedings for the 3rd International Symposium on Parallel and Distributed Processing and Applications (ISPA 2005), which comprises a collection of excellent technical papers, and keynote speeches. The papers accepted cover a wide range of exciting topics, including architectures, software, networking, and applications. The conference continues to grow and this year a record total of 968 manuscripts (including workshop submissions) were submitted for consideration by the Program Committee or workshops. From the 645 papers submitted to the main conference, the Program Committee selected only 90 long papers and 19 short papers in the program. Eight workshops complemented the outstanding paper sessions.

Welcome to the proceedings of the 2005 International Conference on High P- formance Computing and Communications (HPCC 2005) which was held in Sorrento (Naples), Italy, September 21-23, 2005. Withtherapidgrowthincomputing andcommunicationtechnology, thepast decade has witnessed a proliferationofpowerfulparallelanddistributed systems and an ever-increasing demand for the practice of high performance computing and communication(HPCC). HPCChas movedinto the mainstreamof comp- ing and become a key technology in determining future research and devel- ment activities in many academic and industrial branches, especially when the solution of large and complex problems must cope with very tight timing sch- ules.TheHPCC2005conferenceprovidedaforumfor engineersandscientists in academia, industry, andgovernmenttoaddressallresultingprofoundchallenges, and to presentand discuss their new ideas, researchresults, applications and - perience on all aspects of high performance computing and communications. There was a very large number of paper submissions (263), not only from Europe, but also from Asia and the Paci?c, and North and South America. All submissions were reviewed by at least three Program or Technical Committee members or external reviewers. It was extremely di?cult to select the pres- tations for the conference because there were so many excellent and interesting submissions. In order to allocate as many papers as possible and keep the high quality of the conference, we ?nally decided to accept 76 regular papers and 44 shortpapersfororalpresentations.Webelievethatallofthesepapersandtopics not only provided novel ideas, new results, work in progress and state-of-the-art techniques in this ?eld, but also stimulated the future research activities in the area of high performance computing and communicati

The message passing paradigmis the most frequently used approachto devel- ing high performance computing applications on parallel and distributed c- puting architectures.The ParallelVirtual Machine (PVM) and Message Passing Interface (MPI) are the two main representatives in this domain. This volume comprises 61 selected contributions presented at the 12th European PVM/MPI Users' Group Meeting, which was held in Sorrento, Italy, September 18-21, 2005. The conference was organized by the Dipartimento di Ingegneria dell'Informazione of the Second University of Naples, Italy in coll- oration with CREATE and the Institute of Graphics and Parallel Processing (GUP) of the Johannes Kepler University Linz, Austria. The conference was previously held in Budapest, Hungary (2004), Venice, Italy (2003), Linz, Austria (2002), Santorini, Greece (2001), Balatonfur ] ed, Hungary (2000), Barcelona, Spain (1999), Liverpool, UK (1998), and Krakow, Poland (1997). The ?rst three conferences were devoted to PVM and were held in Munich, Germany (1996), Lyon, France (1995), and Rome, Italy (1994). In its twelfth year, this conference is well established as the forum for users and developers of PVM, MPI, and other message passing environments. Int- actions between these groups have proved to be very useful for developing new ideas in parallel computing, and for applying some of those already existent to new practical ?elds. The main topics of the meeting were evaluation and p- formance of PVM and MPI, extensions, implementations and improvements of PVMandMPI, parallelalgorithmsusing the messagepassingparadigm, parallel applications in science and engineering, and cluster and grid computing."
