Developments in parallel computing in recent years have made it possible to build multi-processor architectures that enable efficiency and speed in today's computing environment. Parallel Algorithms and Architectures provides a thorough introduction to this technology, explaining the fundamentals of parallelism in a logical and readable way.Progressing from theory to implementation, the text develops the algorithms of vector processors, shared-memory parallel machines and distributed-memory machines emphasising the link between architectures, models and algorithms. In addition, the book addresses a number of issues that are of great practical importance to people developing parallel programs, including coverage of LINPACK and BLAS, vectorisation, task placement and scheduling.Parallel Algorithms and Architectures is ideal for both computer science students and people in industry who require an understanding of parallelism.

Understand Mathematics, Understand Computing: Discrete Mathematics That All Computing Students Should Know

<p>In this book the authors aim to endow the reader with an operational, conceptual, and methodological understanding of the discrete mathematics that can be used to study, understand, and perform computing. They want the reader to understand the elements of computing, rather than just know them. The basic topics are presented in a way that encourages readers to develop their personal way of thinking about mathematics. Many topics are developed at several levels, in a single voice, with sample applications from within the world of computing. Extensive historical and cultural asides emphasize the human side of mathematics and mathematicians. <div><br /></div> <div>By means of lessons and exercises on&nbsp;"doing"&nbsp;mathematics, the book prepares interested readers to develop new concepts and invent new techniques and technologies that will enhance all aspects of computing. The book will be of value to students, scientists, and engineers engaged in the design and use of computing systems, and to scholars and practitioners beyond these technical fields who want to learn and apply novel computational ideas.</div></p>

By means of lessons and exercises on “doing” mathematics, the book prepares interested readers to develop new concepts and invent new techniques and technologies that will enhance all aspects of computing. The book will be of value to students, scientists, and engineers engaged in the design and use of computing systems, and to scholars and practitioners beyond these technical fields who want to learn and apply novel computational ideas.</p>
