Editorial Review Product Description Scientific computing has often been called the third approach to scientific discovery, emerging as a peer to experimentation and theory. Historically, the synergy between experimentation and theory has been well understood: experiments give insight into possible theories, theories inspire experiments, experiments reinforce or invalidate theories, and so on. As scientific computing has evolved to produce results that meet or exceed the quality of experimental and theoretical results, it has become indispensable. Parallel processing has been an enabling technology in scientific computing for more than 20 years. This book is the first in-depth discussion of parallel computing in 10 years; it reflects the mix of topics that mathematicians, computer scientists, and computational scientists focus on to make parallel processing effective for scientific problems. Presently, the impact of parallel processing on scientific computing varies greatly across disciplines, but it plays a vital role in most problem domains and is absolutely essential in many of them. Parallel Processing for Scientific Computing is divided into four parts: The first concerns performance modeling, analysis, and optimization; the second focuses on parallel algorithms and software for an array of problems common to many modeling and simulation applications; the third emphasizes tools and environments that can ease and enhance the process of application development; and the fourth provides a sampling of applications that require parallel computing for scaling to solve larger and realistic models that can advance science and engineering. This edited volume serves as an up-to-date reference for researchers and application developers on the state of the art in scientific computing. It also serves as an excellent overview and introduction, especially for graduate and senior-level undergraduate students interested in computational modeling and simulation and related computer science and applied mathematics aspects.

Excellent book as a primer to distributed computing
#1 Source for Parallel and Distributed Simulation Techniques Fujimotodivides the material into three sections.Thefirst introduces the readerto the real world problems thathave given rise to the need for PADStechniques. He alsoincludes an introduction to the field of discreteeventsimulation, laying the necessary groundwork for the readertounderstand the rest of the book. In the second section the book beginsto describe many ofthe techniques that are used to accomplish parallel or distributed operations for discrete event simulations. These arepresented very clearly and most readers willgrasp them immediately.Inthis section, the reader gainsan appreciation for the difficulty involvedin creatingparallel simulations that maintain the causality of events within the entire simulation.Distributing the applicationacrossmultiple computers has the potential to greatlyincrease its executionspeed, but must do so withoutjeopardizing the causal accuracy of thesimulation.Topicscovered include conservative synchronization, timewarp,deadlock avoidance, lookahead, repeatability, globalvirtual time,scheduling, and performance. Fujimoto alsoincludes a description of theGeorgia Tech Time Warp systemin which he and others have implemented manyof thesetechniques. Finally, the third section describes theapplication ofPADS techniques to distributed virtual environments. Fujimoto focuses distributed military training systems andpoints towardthe potential for applying these techniquesin entertainment applications. This section is motivatedby a description of the evolution ofdistributed militarytraining using protocols like simulator networking (SIMNET), distributed interactive simulation (DIS),aggregate levelsimulation protocol (ALSP), and the morerecent high level architecture(HLA). Fujimoto takes greatcare to describe how PADS techniques are usedwithinsoftware implementations of the HLA. Topics includedistributedinteractive simulation, dead reckoning, thehigh level architecture,network technologies,communication protocols, data distributionmanagement, andmessage ordering. The book is an essential tool forthose creating parallelor distributed simulation applications orconductingresearch in the field.It provides and excellent level of detail and sufficient explanation to allow others toimplement thetechniques.It is available directly fromWiley-Interscience and frommost of the Web-basedbookstores. ...

Difficult to follow with bad examples.
Wide and deep on fundamentals, and timely
Dr. Andrews knows this topic
An Excellent Book
I've never read anything worse than this in any subject ever Many parts of this books shows that the author has a very poor understanding of mathematics, logical deduction and also pays to attention to details. Further he seems to have quite a bit of flawed intuition about programs/processes and threads. Okay that might be harsh but atleast he has no ability to communicate his understanding anyway so... More specifically I disagree with the following things; The one thing that made be go online and write this was page 73 (i've not read futher and i'm not sure i'm going to either) where the author delivers a lengthy insult to ones intellect by telling you that a program is BAD if any possible trace of execution leave the program in a BAD state. Further he continues to write that GOOD is equivalent to BAD, and then uses these two concepts as if they were each others logical negations. ... Read more |

Editorial Review Product Description Task scheduling for parallel systems can become a quagmire of heuristics, models, and methods that have been developed over the past decades. The author of this innovative text cuts through the confusion and complexity by presenting a consistent and comprehensive theoretical framework along with realistic parallel system models. These new models, based on an investigation of the concepts and principles underlying task scheduling, take into account heterogeneity, contention for communication resources, and the involvement of the processor in communications. For readers who may be new to task scheduling, the first chapters are essential. They serve as an excellent introduction to programming parallel systems, and they place task scheduling within the context of the program parallelization process. The author then reviews the basics of graph theory, discussing the major graph models used to represent parallel programs. Next, the author introduces his task scheduling framework. He carefully explains the theoretical background of this framework and provides several examples to enable readers to fully understand how it greatly simplifies and, at the same time, enhances the ability to schedule. The second half of the text examines both basic and advanced scheduling techniques, offering readers a thorough understanding of the principles underlying scheduling algorithms. The final two chapters address communication contention in scheduling and processor involvement in communications. Each chapter features exercises that help readers put their new skills into practice. An extensive bibliography leads to additional information for further research. Finally, the use of figures and examples helps readers better visualize and understand complex concepts and processes. Researchers and students in distributed and parallel computer systems will find that this text dramatically improves their ability to schedule tasks accurately and efficiently. Customer Reviews (1)

Editorial Review Product Description Software patterns have revolutionized the way we think about how software is designed, built, and documented, and the design of parallel software requires you to consider other particular design aspects and special skills. From clusters to supercomputers, success heavily depends on the design skills of software developers. Patterns for Parallel Software Design presents a pattern-oriented software architecture approach to parallel software design. This approach is not a design method in the classic sense, but a new way of managing and exploiting existing design knowledge for designing parallel programs. Moreover, such approaches enhance not only build-time properties of parallel systems, but also, and particularly, their run-time properties. Patterns for Parallel Software Design will give you the skills you need to develop parallel software. |
