Contemporary High Performance Computing: From Petascale toward Exascale focuses on the ecosystems surrounding the world’s leading centers for high performance computing (HPC). It covers many of the important factors involved in each ecosystem: computer architectures, software, applications, facilities, and sponsors. The first part of the book examines significant trends in HPC systems, including computer architectures, applications, performance, and software. It discusses the growth from terascale to petascale computing and the influence of the TOP500 and Green500 lists. The second part of the book provides a comprehensive overview of 18 HPC ecosystems from around the world. Each chapter i...
Collecting scattered knowledge into one coherent account, this book provides a compendium of both classical and recently developed results on reversible computing. It offers an expanded view of the field that includes the traditional energy-motivated hardware viewpoint as well as the emerging application-motivated software approach. It explores up-and-coming theories, techniques, and tools for the application of reversible computing. The topics covered span several areas of computer science, including high-performance computing, parallel/distributed systems, computational theory, compilers, power-aware computing, and supercomputing.
This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the Third International Conference on High Performance Computing and Communications, HPCC 2007, held in Houston, USA, September 26-28, 2007. The 75 revised full papers presented were carefully reviewed and selected from 272 submissions. The papers address all current issues of parallel and distributed systems and high performance computing and communication as there are: networking protocols, routing, and algorithms, languages and compilers for HPC, parallel and distributed architectures and algorithms, embedded systems, wireless, mobile and pervasive computing, Web services and internet computing, peer-to-peer computing, grid and cluster computing, reliability, fault-tolerance, and security, performance evaluation and measurement, tools and environments for software development, distributed systems and applications, database applications and data mining, biological/molecular computing, collaborative and cooperative environments, and programming interfaces for parallel systems.
Summary: This work combines selected papers from a July 2008 workshop held in Cetraro, Italy, with invited papers by international contributors. Material is in sections on algorithms and scheduling, architectures, GRID technologies, cloud technologies, information processing and applications, and HPC and GRID infrastructures for e-science. B&w maps, images, and screenshots are used to illustrate topics such as nondeterministic coordination using S-Net, cloud computing for on-demand grid resource provisioning, grid computing for financial applications, and the evolution of research and education networks and their essential role in modern science. There is no subject index. The book's readership includes computer scientists, IT engineers, and managers interested in the future development of grids, clouds, and large-scale computing. Gentzsch is affiliated with the DEISA Project and Open Grid Forum, Germany.
This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 22nd Smoky Mountains Computational Sciences and Engineering Conference on Accelerating Science and Engineering Discoveries Through Integrated Research Infrastructure for Experiment, Big Data, Modeling and Simulation, SMC 2022, held virtually, during August 23–25, 2022. The 24 full papers included in this book were carefully reviewed and selected from 74 submissions. They were organized in topical sections as follows: foundational methods enabling science in an integrated ecosystem; science and engineering applications requiring and motivating an integrated ecosystem; systems and software advances enabling an integrated science and engineering ecosystem; deploying advanced technologies for an integrated science and engineering ecosystem; and scientific data challenges.
No single solution applied at one particular layer can help applications solve all performance-related issues with communication services. Instead, this book shows that a coordinated effort is needed among the layers. It covers many different types of technologies and layers across the stack, from the architectural features of the hardware, through the protocols and their implementation in operating system kernels, to the manner in which application services and middleware are using underlying platforms. The book also describes key developments in high-end platforms, high performance interconnection fabrics and communication libraries, and multi- and many-core systems.
Data-intensive science has the potential to transform scientific research and quickly translate scientific progress into complete solutions, policies, and economic success. But this collaborative science is still lacking the effective access and exchange of knowledge among scientists, researchers, and policy makers across a range of disciplines. Bringing together leaders from multiple scientific disciplines, Data-Intensive Science shows how a comprehensive integration of various techniques and technological advances can effectively harness the vast amount of data being generated and significantly accelerate scientific progress to address some of the world's most challenging problems. In the ...
The book then details the thought behind CUDA and teaches how to create, analyze, and debug CUDA applications. Throughout, the focus is on software engineering issues: how to use CUDA in the context of existing application code, with existing compilers, languages, software tools, and industry-standard API libraries."--Pub. desc.
