Annotation: Until now, research and development results in high-performance heterogeneous computing were dispersed over various collections of papers, providing a fragmented picture of the field. The first book to present the state of the art in this rapidly developing area of computer science, "High Performance Heterogeneous Computing" provides computer scientists, applied mathematicians, software engineers, scientific and applied programmers, graduate and postgraduate students, and researchers with a complete overview of software for parallel and distributed programming for heterogeneous networks, including parallel programming systems, distributed programming systems, and grid-based systems.

Publisher Description:

An analytical overview of the state of the art, open problems, and future trends in heterogeneous parallel and distributed computing

This book provides an overview of the ongoing academic research, development, and uses of heterogeneous parallel and distributed computing in the context of scientific computing. Presenting the state of the art in this challenging and rapidly evolving area, the book is organized in five distinct parts:

  • Heterogeneous Platforms: Taxonomy, Typical Uses, and Programming Issues
  • Performance Models of Heterogeneous Platforms and Design of Heterogeneous Algorithms
  • Performance: Implementation and Software
  • Applications
  • Future Tre

High Performance Heterogeneous Computing is a valuable reference for researchers and practitioners in the area of high performance heterogeneous computing. It also serves as an excellent supplemental text for graduate and postgraduate courses in related areas.
