Product Description: Written by high performance computing (HPC) experts, Introduction to High Performance Computing for Scientists and Engineers provides a solid introduction to current mainstream computer architecture, dominant parallel programming models, and useful optimization strategies for scientific HPC. From working in a scientific computing center, the authors gained a unique perspective on the requirements and attitudes of users as well as manufacturers of parallel computers. The text first introduces the architecture of modern cache-based microprocessors and discusses their inherent performance limitations, before describing general optimization strategies for serial code on cache-based architectures.

产品描述：由高性能计算（HPC）专家撰写的《科学家和工程师高性能计算导论》为科学HPC提供了当前主流计算机体系结构、主流并行编程模型和有用的优化策略的坚实介绍。通过在科学计算中心工作，作者对用户和并行计算机制造商的需求和态度有了独特的看法。本文首先介绍了现代基于缓存的微处理器的体系结构，讨论了它们固有的性能限制，然后描述了基于缓存的体系结构上串行代码的一般优化策略。
