Reihe: Wiley Series on Parallel and Distributed Computing

With recent changes in multicore and general-purpose computingon graphics processing units, the way parallel computers are usedand programmed has drastically changed. It is important to providea comprehensive study on how to use such machines written byspecialists of the domain. The book provides recent researchresults in high-performance computing on complex environments,information on how to efficiently exploit heterogeneous andhierarchical architectures and distributed systems, detailedstudies on the impact of applying heterogeneous computing practicesto real problems, and applications varying from remote sensing totomography. The content spans topics such as Numerical Analysis forHeterogeneous and Multicore Systems; Optimization of Communicationfor High Performance Heterogeneous and Hierarchical Platforms;Efficient Exploitation of Heterogeneous Architectures, HybridCPU+GPU, and Distributed Systems; Energy Awareness inHigh-Performance Computing; and Applications of HeterogeneousHigh-Performance Computing.
* Covers cutting-edge research in HPC on complexenvironments, following an international collaboration of membersof the ComplexHPC
* Explains how to efficiently exploit heterogeneous andhierarchical architectures and distributed systems
* Twenty-three chapters and over 100 illustrations coverdomains such as numerical analysis, communication and storage,applications, GPUs and accelerators, and energy efficiency
