Performance Optimization of Numerically Intensive Codes

This book offers a comprehensive, tutorial-style, hands-on, introductory and intermediate-level treatment of all the essential ingredients for achieving high performance in numerical computations on modern computers. The authors explain computer architectures, data traffic and issues related to performance of serial and parallel code optimization exemplified by actual programs written for algorithms of wide interest. The unique hands-on style is achieved by extensive case studies using realistic computational problems. The book allows readers to better judge the suitability of certain computer architecture to their computational requirements.Goedecker, Stefan is the author of 'Performance Optimization of Numerically Intensive Codes' with ISBN 9780898714845 and ISBN 0898714842.
