  • MATLAB

    A Practical Introduction to Programming and Problem Solving
    • 5th Edition
    • Dorothy C. Attaway
    • English
    MATLAB: A Practical Introduction to Programming and Problem Solving, winner of TAA’s 2017 Textbook Excellence Award ("Texty"), guides the reader through both programming and built-in functions to easily exploit MATLAB's extensive capabilities for tackling engineering and scientific problems. Assuming no knowledge of programming, this book starts with programming concepts, such as variables, assignments, and selection statements, moves on to loops, and then solves problems using both the programming concept and the power of MATLAB. The fifth edition has been updated to reflect the functionality of the current version of MATLAB (R2018a), including the addition of local functions in scripts, the new string type, coverage of recently introduced functions to import data from web sites, and updates to the Live Editor and App Designer.

  • Environment Modeling-Based Requirements Engineering for Software Intensive Systems

    • 1st Edition
    • Zhi Jin
    • English
    Environment Modeling-Based Requirements Engineering for Software Intensive Systems provides a new and promising approach for engineering the requirements of software-intensive systems, presenting a systematic, promising approach to identifying, clarifying, modeling, deriving, and validating the requirements of software-intensive systems from well-modeled environment simulations. In addition, the book presents a new view of software capability, i.e. the effect-based software capability in terms of environment modeling.

  • Parallel Programming

    Concepts and Practice
    • 1st Edition
    • Bertil Schmidt + 3 more
    • English

  • CUDA Programming

    A Developer's Guide to Parallel Computing with GPUs
    • 2nd Edition
    • Shane Cook
    • English
    CUDA Programming: A Developer's Guide to Parallel Computing with GPUs, Second Edition is a fully revised, updated, practical guide that provides a solid foundation for developers learning parallel programming with CUDA. This guide iincludes updates that cover both the Kepler and Maxwell GPUs from NVIDIA, as well as the latest heterogeneous systems from AMD. Suitable for someone without a parallel programming background or previous CUDA experience, as well as those who already have dabbled in GPU programming, the contents range from installation and getting started, to building your own GPU workstation. This revision includes a new chapter on visualizing data, and new content on the latest CUDA features including data caching, shared memory, and dynamic parallelism. Author Shane Cook also covers the latest host systems and changes to the installation process, NVIDIA’s Parallel NSight IDE, and hardware systems that run CUDA applications. The final new chapter looks ahead to future GPU platforms and releases including on-core ARM CPU and NVlink technologies.

  • OCUP 2 Certification Guide

    Preparing for the OMG Certified UML 2.5 Professional 2 Foundation Exam
    • 1st Edition
    • Michael Jesse Chonoles
    • English
    OCUP 2 Certification Guide: Preparing for the OMG Certified UML 2.5 Professional 2 Foundation Exam both teaches UML® 2.5 and prepares candidates to become certified. UML® (Unified Modeling Language) is the most popular graphical language used by software analysts, designers, and developers to model, visualize, communicate, test, and document systems under development. UML® 2.5 has recently been released, and with it a new certification program for practitioners to enhance their current or future career opportunities. There are three exam levels: Foundation, Intermediate, and Advanced. The exam covered in this book, Foundation, is a prerequisite for the higher levels. Author Michael Jesse Chonoles is a lead participant in the current OCUP 2 program—not only in writing and reviewing all the questions, but also in designing the goals of the program. This book distills his experience in modeling, mentoring, and training. Because UML® is a sophisticated language, with 13 diagram types, capable of modeling any type of modern software system, it takes users some time to become proficient. This effective resource will explain the material in the Foundation exam and includes many practice questions for the candidate, including sample problems similar to those found in the exam, and detailed explanations of why correct answers are correct and why wrong answers are wrong.
