      Foundations of High Performance Computing offers a comprehensive and up-to-date reference to high-performance computing (HPC). Laying the ground work for the companion text, High-Performance Computing: Applications and Frontiers, Foundations of High Performance Computing serves as a comprehensive introduction to the fundamental concepts, systems, and introductory programming techniques required for high performance computing. It is designed for graduate students, early-career professionals, and researchers seeking to build a solid foundation in HPC. This volume focuses on infrastructure, programming basics, and practical access to HPC systems. Foundations of High Performance Computing utilises a five-part structure to guide the reader through the concepts and applications of high performance computing. The first part introduces HPC, covering the evolution of HPC and offering an architectural overview of HPC systems. Part Two looks at the basics of HPC programming, beginning with resource management and performance metrics in parallel systems, discussing practical access to HPC, and considering the concepts behind distributed and shared memory. Part Three, Foundations of Parallel Computing, focuses on OpenMP for multithreading, MPI programming, GPU computing, OpenACC, and CUDA. In Part Four, the author concentrates on parallel I/O, data management, filesystems, cloud based HPC and virtualization. The book concludes with a reference and glossary. Foundations of High Performance Computing equips the reader with a thorough grounding in the basics of HPC, providing a comprehensive, multidisciplinary guide to the principles, and concepts that underpin high performance computing.

      Please note this is a Short Discount publication.LANs have gone through stages. Early LANs connected asychronous terminals to minicomputers. With the advent of the IBM PC the focus on technology changed to that of PCs connected to some type of 'file server'. After a number of years, the battle over file servers turned into a battle of network operating systems. With the advent of the client server model, and high performance workstations, one direction the battle has been taking is to develop a high performance server engine.The general strategy in this arena is to attempt to remove bottlenecks in the processing of service requests to the various networks operating. Several consortiums of venture capitalists have poured amounts of money in the range of $20m into developing the ultimate high performance server. With Novell shipping thousands of copies of NetWare 386 per month, this lucrative market is about to undergo intense long term competition.This report describes the general approaches that can be used to develop a high performance server and several of the key products in the area including products from several start up ventures.

      This book explores new analytical techniques and tools for the performance evaluation of distributed and integrated computer communication systems. The systems considered are those arising in LAN, MAN, WAN broadband ISDN, and ATM switching. These systems are mathematically modelled and analysed. Analytical results are presented on the basic queueing models such as multi-queue, priority queue, queueing network, queue with bursty input and superposed input, and multi-server queue. These results can be usefully applied for the performance evaluation of all the above systems.

      This volume of Advances in Computers is number 66 in the series that began back in 1960. This series presents the ever changing landscape in the continuing evolution of the development of the computer and the field of information processing. Each year three volumes are produced presenting approximately 20 chapters that describe the latest technology in the use of computers today. Volume 66, subtitled "Quality software development," is concerned about the current need to create quality software. It describes the current emphasis in techniques for creating such software and in methods to demonstrate that the software indeed meets the expectations of the designers and purchasers of that software.

      The term computation gap has been defined as the difference between the computational power demanded by the application domain and the computational power of the underlying computer platform. Traditionally, closing the computation gap has been one of the major and fundamental tasks of computer architects. However, as technology advances and computers become more pervasive in the society, the domain of computer architecture has been extended. The scope of research in the computer architecture is no longer restricted to the computer hardware and organization issues. A wide spectrum of topics ranging from algorithm design to power management is becoming part of the computer architecture. Based on the aforementioned trend and to reflect recent research efforts, attempts were made to select a collection of articles that covers different aspects of contemporary computer architecture design. This volume of the Advances in Computers contains six chapters on different aspects of computer architecture. Key features: Wide range of research topics Coverage of new topics such as power management, Network on Chip, Load balancing in distributed systems, and pervasive computing Simple writing style
