Beschreibung

Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - The book discusses some key scientific and technological developments in high performance computing, identifies significant trends, and defines desirable research objectives. It covers general concepts and emerging systems, software technology, algorithms and applications. Coverage includes hardware, software tools, networks and numerical methods, new computer architectures, and a discussion of future trends. Beyond purely scientific/engineering computing, the book extends to coverage of enterprise-wide, commercial applications, including papers on performance and scalability of database servers and Oracle DBM systems. Audience: Most papers are research level, but some are suitable for computer literate managers and technicians, making the book useful to users of commercial parallel computers.
