Parallel Scientific Computation: A Structured Approach Using BSP by Rob H. Bisse

Description: Parallel Scientific Computation by Rob H. Bisseling Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Hardcover Condition Brand New Description Parallel Scientific Computation presents a methodology for designing parallel algorithms and writing parallel computer programs for modern computer architectures with multiple processors. Publisher Description Building upon the wide-ranging success of the first edition, Parallel Scientific Computation presents a single unified approach to using a range of parallel computers, from a small desktop computer to a massively parallel computer. The author explains how to use the bulk synchronous parallel (BSP) model to design and implement parallel algorithms in the areas of scientific computing and big data, and provides a full treatment of core problems in theseareas, starting from a high-level problem description, via a sequential solution algorithm to a parallel solution algorithm and an actual parallel program written in BSPlib. Every chapter ofthe book contains a theoretical section and a practical section presenting a parallel program and numerical experiments on a modern parallel computer to put the theoretical predictions and cost analysis to the test. Every chapter also presents extensive bibliographical notes with additional discussions and pointers to relevant literature, and numerous exercises which are suitable as graduate student projects. The second edition provides new material relevant for big-datascience such as sorting and graph algorithms, and it provides a BSP approach towards new hardware developments such as hierarchical architectures with both shared and distributed memory. A single,simple hybrid BSP system suffices to handle both types of parallelism efficiently, and there is no need to master two systems, as often happens in alternative approaches. Furthermore, the second edition brings all algorithms used up to date, and it includes new material on high-performance linear system solving by LU decomposition, and improved data partitioning for sparse matrix computations.The book is accompanied by a software package BSPedupack, freely available onlinefrom the authors homepage, which contains all programs of the book and a set of test driver programs. This package written in C can be run using modern BSPlib implementations such as MulticoreBSP forC or BSPonMPI. Author Biography Rob Bisseling is a full professor in Scientific Computing at the Mathematics Institute of Utrecht University, where he has held a position since 1993. Previously, he worked as a research mathematician at the Shell laboratory in Amsterdam, where he investigated various applications of parallel computing.
