No customer reviews yet ISBN 9780198515760

In the last few years, courses on parallel computation have been developed and offered in many institutions in the UK, Europe and US as a recognition of the growing significance of this topic in mathematics and computer science. There is a clear need for texts that meet the needs of students and lecturers and this book, based on the author's lecture at ETH Zurich is an ideal practical student guide to scientific computing on parallel computers working up from a hardware instruction level, to shared memory machines and finally to distributed memory machines. Aimed at advanced undergraduate and graduate students in applied mathematics, computer science and engineering, subjects covered include linear algebra, fast Fourier transform, and Monte-Carlo simulations, including examples in C and in some cases Fortran. This book is also ideal for practitioners and programmers.

Scalable Input/Output: Achieving System Balance
<b>The major research results from the Scalable Input/Output Initiative, exploring software and algorithmic solutions to the I/O imbalance.</b><p>As we enter the "decade of data," the disparity between the vast amount of data storage capacity (measurable in terabytes and petabytes) and the bandwidth available for accessing it has created an input/output bottleneck that is proving to be a major constraint on the effective use of scientific data for research. <i>Scalable Input/Output</i> is a summary of the major research results of the Scalable I/O Initiative, launched by Paul Messina, then Director of the Center for Advanced Computing Research at the California Institute of Technology, to explore software and algorithmic solutions to the I/O imbalance. The contributors explore techniques for I/O optimization, including: I/O characterization to understand application and system I/O patterns&#x3b; system checkpointing strategies&#x3b; collective I/O and parallel database support for scientific applications&#x3b; parallel I/O libraries and strategies for file striping, prefetching, and write behind&#x3b; compilation strategies for out-of-core data access&#x3b; scheduling and shared virtual memory alternatives&#x3b; network support for low-latency data transfer&#x3b; and parallel I/O application programming interfaces.</p>
