Book Description

This book is intended for anyone who has heard about the many benefits of using HPC (such as streamlining processes or saving money). This book explains what HPC is and shows how it can help you or others within your company.

The quest to capture and manipulate the world in digital form began when the first vacuum tube computers were used to calculate trajectories and crack codes. Viewed through today's technology, these problems seem trivial and could easily be solved on your cell phone and PDA. The quest to capture and compute continues to this day. The power to model and manipulate our world in silicon has enabled vast changes in how we conduct science, business, and even our everyday lives. From the next scientific breakthrough to new and better products to a greener world, High Performance Computing (HPC) is playing a central role in all these efforts.

In simple terms, HPC enables us to first model then manipulate those things that are important to us. HPC changes everything. It is too important to ignore or push aside. Indeed, HPC has moved from a selective and expensive endeavor to a cost-effective technology within reach of virtually every budget. This book will help you to get a handle on exactly what HPC does and can be.

• High Performance Computing and Numerical Modelling

  This textbook provides a step-by-step approach to numerical methods in engineering modelling. It provides a consistent treatment of the topic, from the ground up, to reinforce for students that numerical methods are a set of mathematical modelling tools.

• High Performance Computing (Charles Severance)

  The purpose of this book is to teach new programmers and scientists about the basics of High Performance Computing. It presents techniques that address new performance issues in the programming of high performance computing (HPC) applications.

• Introduction to High-Performance Scientific Computing (Eijkhout)

  This is a textbook that teaches the bridging topics between numerical analysis, parallel computing, code performance, large scale applications. it assumes a basic knowledge of numerical computation and proficiency in Fortran or C programming.

• Is Parallel Programming Hard? If So, What Can You Do About It?

  It examines what makes parallel programming hard, and describes design techniques that can help you avoid many parallel-programming pitfalls. It is primarily intended for low-level C/C++ code, but offers valuable lessons for other environments as well.

• Introduction to Parallel Computing (Blaise Barney)

  This book explains how to design, debug, and evaluate the performance of distributed and shared-memory programs. It teaches students how to compile, run and modify example programs. It is a complete end-to-end source of information on almost all aspects.
