{"product_id":"scientific-parallel-computing-larkin-ridgway-scott-9780691119359","title":"Scientific Parallel Computing","description":"\u003cp\u003eWhat does Google's management of billions of Web pages have in common with analysis of a genome with billions of nucleotides? Both apply methods that coordinate many processors to accomplish a single task. From mining genomes to the World Wide Web, from modeling financial markets to global weather patterns, parallel computing enables computations that would otherwise be impractical if not impossible with sequential approaches alone. Its fundamental role as an enabler of simulations and data analysis continues an advance in a wide range of application areas. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003ci\u003eScientific Parallel Computing\u003c\/i\u003e is the first textbook to integrate all the fundamentals of parallel computing in a single volume while also providing a basis for a deeper understanding of the subject. Designed for graduate and advanced undergraduate courses in the sciences and in engineering, computer science, and mathematics, it focuses on the three key areas of algorithms, architecture, languages, and their crucial synthesis in performance. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e The book's computational examples, whose math prerequisites are not beyond the level of advanced calculus, derive from a breadth of topics in scientific and engineering simulation and data analysis. The programming exercises presented early in the book are designed to bring students up to speed quickly, while the book later develops projects challenging enough to guide students toward research questions in the field. The new paradigm of cluster computing is fully addressed. A supporting web site provides access to all the codes and software mentioned in the book, and offers topical information on popular parallel computing systems. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e \u003cli\u003eIntegrates all the fundamentals of parallel computing essential for today's high-performance requirements \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e \u003cli\u003eIdeal for graduate and advanced undergraduate students in the sciences and in engineering, computer science, and mathematics \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e \u003cli\u003eExtensive programming and theoretical exercises enable students to write parallel codes quickly \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e \u003cli\u003eMore challenging projects later in the book introduce research questions \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e \u003cli\u003eNew paradigm of cluster computing fully addressed \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e \u003cli\u003eSupporting web site provides access to all the codes and software mentioned in the book\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Larkin Ridgway Scott,Terry W.
