Book Description

This is a textbook that teaches the bridging topics between numerical analysis, parallel computing, code performance, large scale applications.

Designed for undergraduates, it assumes a basic knowledge of numerical computation and proficiency in Fortran or C programming and can be used in any science, computer science, applied mathematics, or engineering department or by practicing scientists and engineers, especially those associated with one of the national laboratories or supercomputer centers.

The contents of this book is a combination of theoretical material and selfguided tutorials on various practical skills. The theory chapters have exercises that can be assigned in a classroom, however, their placement in the text is such that a reader not inclined to do exercises can simply take them as statement of fact.

• Victor Eijkhout is a research scientist at the Texas Advanced Computing Center.

• Scientific Programming in C++17 and Fortran 2008 (V. Eijkhout)

  This book covers the two major high performance languages: C++17 and Fortran 2008. Both are covered from the ground up, rather than encyclopedically, with plenty of programming examples, taken from computational science.

• Introduction to Scientific Programming with Python

  This book offers an initial introduction to programming for scientific and computational applications using the Python programming language. The presentation style is compact and example-based, assuming little or no prior experience in programming.

• Architecture of Advanced Numerical Analysis Systems

  This unique open access book applies the functional OCaml programming language to numerical or computational weighted data science, engineering, and scientific applications. It's based on Owl, an OCaml-based numerical computing library.

• 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 Embedded Computing (Luis M. Pinho, et al.)

  This book presents recent advances in software architecture and tools to support such complex systems, enabling the design of embedded computing devices which are able to deliver high-performance whilst guaranteeing the application required timing bounds.

• High Performance Computing For Dummies, Sun & AMD Edition

  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.

• 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.
