Description and Table of Contents
Description
* New approaches to parallel computing are being developed that make better use of the heterogeneous cluster architecture* Provides a detailed introduction to parallel computing on heterogenous clusters* All concepts and algorithms are illustrated with working programs that can be compiled and executed on any cluster* The algorithms discussed have practical applications in a range of real-life parallel computing problems, such as the N-body problem, portfolio management, and the modeling of oil extraction
