Reflecting the growing importance of parallel computing in mainstream computer technology, this book offers a fully integrated study of parallel and sequential algorithms—helping readers understand the application and analysis of algorithmic paradigms to both the (traditional) sequential model of computing and to a variety of parallel models, and showing them how solution strategies may be shared among computer architectures.Relates/contrasts sequential and parallel algorithms where appropriate (i.e., covers a paradigm—such as divide-and-conquer—and then considers design, analysis, and implementation issues for both the sequential and parallel models). Reviews mathematical concepts and develops mathematical tools early on—including asymptotic analysis, induction and recursion, and Master Method; provides a broad variety of architectures and application areas (including matrix operations, computational geometry, graph algorithms, and numerical problems). Offers many illustrations, exercises, and worked examples. Assumes basic knowledge of data structures, discrete mathematics and calculus. For advanced undergraduates, graduate students, and computer science industry professionals.

Parallel Algorithms for Regular Architectures: Meshes and Pyramids (Scientific Computation)

Parallel-Algorithms for Regular Architectures is the first book to concentrate exclusively on algorithms and paradigms for programming parallel computers such as the hypercube, mesh, pyramid, and mesh-of-trees. Algorithms are given to solve fundamental tasks such as sorting and matrix operations, as well as problems in the field of image processing, graph theory, and computational geometry. The first chapter defines the computer models, problems to be solved, and notation that will be used throughout the book. It also describes fundamental abstract data movement operations that serve as the foundation to many of the algorithms presented in the book. The remaining chapters describe efficient implementations of these operations for specific models of computation and present algorithms (with asymptotic analyses) that are often based on these operations. The algorithms presented are the most efficient known, including a number of new algorithms for the hypercube and mesh-of-trees that are better than those that have previously appeared in the literature. The chapters may be read independently, allowing anyone interested in a specific model to read the introduction and then move directly to the chapter(s) devoted to the particular model of interest. Russ Miller is Assistant Professor in the Department of Computer Science, State University of New York at Buffalo. Quentin F. Stout is Associate Professor in the Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science at the University of Michigan. Parallel Algorithms for Regular Architectures is included in the Scientific Computation series, edited by Dennis Gannon.

Russ Miller provides a step-by-step approach to tuning the entire drum kit along with discussions and demonstrations of several tuning methods and options including stylistic tuning, open tuning, dry tuning, pitch tuning, drum head selection, muffling, and mike placement suggestions. He continues with information on the make-up of a drum, feel vs. sound, and simply choosing the right gear for your needs to develop your own personal sound. Special features include a live performance from the Russ Miller Band, an Afro-Cuban 6/8 lesson with a bonus performance track, two play-along songs with printable charts, and a live audio track with Jennifer Love Hewitt.

This is probably the easiest to read and understand book available that describes what happened to Planet Earth during and after the 371 days that Noah and seven others remained secure inside the ark. They left behind a one-continent world and landed in a newly-shattered world, the one great land mass having been ripped apart into the continents we know today. Stones and bones tell the story.
