Description for Scientific Parallel Computing
Hardback. 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. This book covers the fundamentals of parallel computing. Num Pages: 392 pages, 75 line illus. BIC Classification: UYFP. Category: (P) Professional & Vocational; (U) Tertiary Education (US: College). Dimension: 229 x 152 x 27. Weight in Grams: 857.
What 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. Scientific Parallel Computing is the first textbook to integrate all the fundamentals of parallel ... Read more

Reviews for Scientific Parallel Computing
"The text as a whole offers a good blend of theoretical and practical expertise with discussion of both hardware and software issues of parallel computing. This range of topics is the strength of the text, and not something found in other texts."
