Omitting tedious details, the book discusses hardware architecture concepts and programming techniques that are the most pertinent to application developers for achieving high performance. Even though the text concentrates on C and Fortran, the techniques described can be applied to other languages, such as C++ and Java.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDrawing on their experience with chips from AMD and systems, interconnects, and software from Cray Inc., the authors explore the problems that create bottlenecks in attaining good performance. They cover techniques that pertain to each of the three levels of parallelism: \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eMessage passing between the nodes \u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eShared memory parallelism on the nodes or the multiple instruction, multiple data (MIMD) units on the accelerator\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eVectorization on the inner level \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cp\u003eAfter discussing architectural and software challenges, the book outlines a strategy for porting and optimizing an existing application to a large massively parallel processor (MPP) system. With a look toward the future, it also introduces the use of general purpose graphics processing units (GPGPUs) for carrying out HPC computations. A companion website at www.hybridmulticoreoptimization.com contains all the examples from the book, along with updated timing results on the latest released processors. \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Taylor \u0026 Francis","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":45235282346135,"sku":"9781420077056","price":8798.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9781420077056.webp?v=1769209188","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/high-performance-computing-9781420077056","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
