Elements of Parallel Computing

Elements of Parallel Computing

Created to help scientists and engineers write computer code this practical book addresses the important tools and techniques that are necessary for scientific computing but which are not yet commonplace in science and engineering curricula. This book contains chapters summarizing the most important topics that computational researchers need to know about. It leverages the viewpoints of passionate experts involved with scientific computing courses around the globe and aims to be a starting point for new computational scientists and a reference for the experienced. Each contributed chapter focuses on a specific tool or skill providing the content needed to provide a working knowledge of the topic in about one day. While many individual books on specific computing topics exist none is explicitly focused on getting technical professionals and students up and running immediately across a variety of computational areas. | Elements of Parallel Computing

Introduction to High Performance Computing for Scientists and Engineers

Introduction to High Performance Computing for Scientists and Engineers

Written by high performance computing (HPC) experts Introduction to High Performance Computing for Scientists and Engineers provides a solid introduction to current mainstream computer architecture dominant parallel programming models and useful optimization strategies for scientific HPC. From working in a scientific computing center the authors gained a unique perspective on the requirements and attitudes of users as well as manufacturers of parallel computers. The text first introduces the architecture of modern cache-based microprocessors and discusses their inherent performance limitations before describing general optimization strategies for serial code on cache-based architectures. It next covers shared- and distributed-memory parallel computer architectures and the most relevant network topologies. After discussing parallel computing on a theoretical level the authors show how to avoid or ameliorate typical performance problems connected with OpenMP. They then present cache-coherent non-uniform memory access (ccNUMA) optimization techniques examine distributed-memory parallel programming with message passing interface (MPI) and explain how to write efficient MPI code. The final chapter focuses on hybrid programming with MPI and OpenMP. Users of high performance computers often have no idea what factors limit time to solution and whether it makes sense to think about optimization at all. This book facilitates an intuitive understanding of performance limitations without relying on heavy computer science knowledge. It also prepares readers for studying more advanced literature. Read about the authors' recent honor: Informatics Europe Curriculum Best Practices Award for Parallelism and Concurrency.

Black Holes Wormholes and Time Machines

Black Holes Wormholes and Time Machines

Bringing the material up to date Black Holes Wormholes and Time Machines Second Edition captures the new ideas and discoveries made in physics since the publication of the best-selling first edition. While retaining the popular format and style of its predecessor this edition explores the latest developments in high-energy astroparticle physics and Big Bang cosmology. The book continues to make the ideas and theories of modern physics easily understood by anyone from researchers to students to general science enthusiasts. Taking you on a journey through space and time author Jim Al-Khalili covers some of the most fascinating topics in physics today including: Black holes Space warps The Big Bang Time travel Wormholes Parallel universes Professor Al-Khalili explains often complex scientific concepts in simple nontechnical terms and imparts an appreciation of the cosmos helping you see how time traveling may not be so far-fetched after all.

The Routledge Companion to Literature and Class

The Routledge Companion to Literature and Class

The Routledge Companion to Literature and Class offers a comprehensive and fresh assessment of the cultural impact of class in literature analyzing various innovative interdisciplinary approaches of textual analysis and intersections of literature including class subjectivities mental health gender and queer studies critical race theory quantitative and scientific methods and transnational perspectives in literary analysis. Utilizing these new methods and interdisciplinary maps from field-defining essayists students will become aware of ways to bring these elusive texts into their own writing as one of the parallel perspectives through which to view literature. This volume will provide students with an insight into the history of the intersections of class theory of class and invisibility in literature and new trends in exploring class in literature. These multidimensional approaches to literature will be a crucial resource for undergraduate and graduate students becoming familiar with class analysis and will offer seasoned scholars the most significant critical approaches in class studies.

Labyrinth and Piano Key Weirs III Proceedings of the 3rd International Workshop on Labyrinth and Piano Key Weirs (PKW 2017) February 22-24

Labyrinth and Piano Key Weirs III Proceedings of the 3rd International Workshop on Labyrinth and Piano Key Weirs (PKW 2017) February 22-24

Since the first implementation by Electricité de France on the Goulours dam (France) in 2006 the Piano Key Weir has become a more and more applied solution to increase the discharge capacity of existing spillways. In parallel several new large dam projects have been built with such a flood control structure usually in combination with gates. Today more than 25 Piano Key Weirs are in operation or under construction all over the world. More than 15 years of research and development have enabled detailed investigations of the hydraulic and structural behaviour of the Piano Key Weir complex structure and have provided more and more accurate design equations. Following the proceedings of the first two workshops held in Liege (Belgium – 2011) and Paris (France – 2013) Labyrinth and Piano Key Weirs III collects the contributions presented by people with varied background from researchers to practitioners at the 3rd International Workshop on Labyrinth and Piano Key Weirs - PKW 2017 (22-24 February 2017 Qui Nhon Vietnam). The papers reviewed and accepted by an International Scientific Committee summarize the current state-of-the-art on Piano Key Weirs from a theoretical to a practical point of view and present most of the main projects in operation or under construction. Labyrinth and Piano Key Weirs III is thus a reference for students practitioners and researchers interested in Dams Engineering. | Labyrinth and Piano Key Weirs III Proceedings of the 3rd International Workshop on Labyrinth and Piano Key Weirs (PKW 2017) February 22-24

FDA and USDA Nutrition Labeling Guide Decision Diagrams Check

FDA and USDA Nutrition Labeling Guide Decision Diagrams Check

A workbook for day-to-day decisions Nutrition labels on various food products must comply with numerous ever-changing requirements. Items such as meat and poultry products food packages and dietary supplements are subject to stringent federal regulations-and the costs of compliance are often significant. The Nutritional Labeling and Education Act of 1990 (NLEA) imposed new mandates for labeling of many packaged food products; still others became subject to a voluntary nutrition labeling program. Following that lead USDA has imposed parallel labeling requirements. FDA and USDA Nutrition Labeling Guide: Decision Diagrams Checklists and Regulations provides hands-on information and guidelines for understanding the latest federal nutrition labeling requirements. This plain English analysis of FDA and FSIS labeling rules contains diagrams and tables and cites specific regulations. Decision diagrams walk the reader through volumes of information and make sense out of complicated regulatory processes. Checklists for managing information for developing specific labels help the reader track regulatory changes and document regulation applicability to company products. The RegFinder index references not only the text but also provides hundreds of regulatory citations referenced by topic. FDA and USDA Nutrition Labeling Guide: Decision Diagrams Checklists and Regulations will be of interest to food industry personnel responsible for compliance with federal nutritional labeling regulations food product developers and food technologists. Faculty teaching food laws and regulations and food product development will also find this book of interest. | FDA and USDA Nutrition Labeling Guide Decision Diagrams Check
