Inhaltsangabe

Describing useful current research in modern performance science and engineering, this book helps real-world users of parallel computer systems to better understand both the performance vagaries arising in scientific applications and the practical means for improving performance. Some of the most notable experts in the field focus on the areas of performance monitoring, performance analysis, performance modeling, automatic performance tuning, and application tuning. The book also provides an overview of modern computer architecture. It includes examples from such areas as solid mechanics, astrophysics, quantum chromodynamics, molecular dynamics, and environmental science.
