Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not
used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad
quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are
images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to
keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the
original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain
imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made
available for future generations to enjoy.

This book presents the state of the art in High Performance
Computing on modern supercomputer architectures. It addresses
trends in hardware and software development in general, as well as
the future of High Performance Computing systems and heterogeneous
architectures. The contributions cover a broad range of topics,
from improved system management to Computational Fluid Dynamics,
High Performance Data Analytics, and novel mathematical approaches
for large-scale systems. In addition, they explore innovative
fields like coupled multi-physics and multi-scale simulations. All
contributions are based on selected papers presented at the 26th
and 28th Workshops on Sustained Simulation Performance, held at the
High Performance Computing Center, University of Stuttgart,
Germany, in October 2017 and 2018, and the 27th and 29th Workshops
on Sustained Simulation Performance, held at the Cyberscience
Center, Tohoku University, Japan, in March 2018 and 2019.

the future of high-performance systems and heterogeneous
architectures in particular. The application-related contributions
cover computational fluid dynamics, material science, medical
applications and climate research; innovative fields such as
coupled multi-physics and multi-scale simulations are highlighted.
All papers were chosen from presentations given at the 18th
Workshop on Sustained Simulation Performance held at the HLRS,
University of Stuttgart, Germany in October 2013 and subsequent
Workshop of the same name held at Tohoku University in March 2014.
The goal of Sustainable Human and Environmental Systems (SHES)
education is to prepare students to facilitate social learning in
communities that builds knowledge of, capacity for, and commitment
to sustainability to facilitate the emergence of sustainable
societies. The SHES approach to sustainability education relies on
complexity-based systems thinking that transcends disciplinary
boundaries. This book provides a comprehensive guide to the SHES
approach, including its rationale and theoretical foundation, its
pedagogy and practical applications in curricula, and ways to
support the approach through institutional administration. This
book will be of great interest to academics and students of
education, environmental sciences and studies, sustainability and
sustainable development, natural resource management, conservation,
environmental policy, environmental planning, and related fields in
higher education. Educators can use this book as a guide to SHES
pedagogy, curriculum design, sustainability, environmental studies,
sustainable development, and sustainable well-being. Administrators
will find the book useful in establishing, evaluating, staffing,
and promoting programs based on the SHES approach.

The semi-arid zones of the world are fragile ecosystems which are
being sub stantially modified by the activities of mankind.
Increasing human populations have resulted in greater demands on
semi-arid zones for providing human susten ance and the possibility
that this may enhance desertification is a grave concern. These
zones are harsh habitats for humans. The famines that resulted from
drought during the late 1960's and the 1970's in the African Sahel
illustrated the unreliability of present agricultural systems in
this zone. Large fluctuations in ag ricultural production have
occurred in semi-arid zones of Australia, North Ameri ca, and the
Soviet Union due to periodic droughts, even though considerable ag
ricultural technology has been devoted to agricultural development
in these zones. The challenge to mankind is to manage these
different semi-arid zones so that pro ductivity is increased and
stabilized, and environmental deterioration is decreased.
Irrigation can be used to increase and stabilize agricultural
production in semi-arid zones as discussed in Volume 5 of this
series, Arid Zone Irrigation. The present volume, Agriculture in
Semi-Arid Environments, focuses on dryland farming in semi-arid
zones, and is relevant to the large areas of the world where
rainfall is limiting and where water is not available for
irrigation. This volume is designed to assist agricultural
development in these areas and consists of reviews and analyses of
available information by scientists working in Africa, Australia,
and at the U ni versity of California."
