商品簡介
This tutorial-style, introductory and intermediate-level treatment of essentials for achieving high performance in numerical computations on modern computers explains computer architectures, data traffic, and issues related to performance of serial and parallel code optimization, with examples of actual programs written for algorithms of wide interest. Extensive case studies are presented using realistic computational problems. In contrast to standard texts on computer architecture and on programming techniques, this text treats these topics together at the level necessary for writing high-performance programs. Goedecker is a scientist at the Atomic Energy Commission in Grenoble, France. Hoisie is a scientist at the Los Alamos National Laboratory. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
