    • Introduction to High Performance Computing for Scientists and Engineers, Paperback by Hager, Georg; Wellein, Gerhard, ISBN 143981192X, ISBN-13 9781439811924, Brand New, Free shipping in the US

      Hager and Wellein (computer science, U. of Erlangen, Germany) introduce students and scientists in computer science and computational engineering to the architecture and programming of high performance computers, with an emphasis on performance issues. They discuss current mainstream computer architecture, dominant parallel programming models, and optimization strategies for scientific high performance computing, including the architecture of modern cache-based microprocessors and their performance limitations and general optimization strategies for serial code. Parallel computer architectures of the shared-memory and distributed-memory type and relevant network typologies, parallel computing on a theoretical level, OpenMP and performance problems, ccNUMA-specific optimization techniques, and distributed-memory parallel programming with the Message Passing Interface (MPI) and writing MPI code are also discussed. They do not provide alternative algorithms or discuss very recent developments like modern accelerator technologies, or high performance input-output.
