High performance computing on complex environments / Emmanuel Jeannot, Julius Zilinskas. [electronic resource] Jeannot, Emmanuel. Žilinskas, J. (Julius), 1973- High performance computing. QA76.88 004.1/1 23 Includes bibliographical references and index. Print version record and CIP data provided by publisher. With recent changes in multicore and general-purpose computing on graphics processing units, the way parallel computers are used and programmed has drastically changed. This book provides recent research results in high-performance computing on complex environments, information on how to efficiently exploit heterogeneous and hierarchical architectures and distributed systems, detailed studies on the impact of applying heterogeneous computing practices to real problems, and applications varying from remote sensing to tomography. Topics include: numerical analysis for heterogeneous and multicore systems; optimization of communication for high performance heterogeneous and hierarchical platforms; efficient exploitation of heterogeneous architectures, hybrid CPU+GPU, and distributed systems; energy awareness in high-performance computing; and applications of heterogeneous high-performance computing. -- Edited summary from book. 2014 Text 1 online resource (xxi, 395 pages) : http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/book/10.1002/9781118711897 eng Wiley series on parallel and distributed computing Wiley series on parallel and distributed computing.
