An Introduction to Parallel Programming - T. Wittwer - eBook (9789071301780)
Many scientific computations require a considerable amount of computing time. This computing time can be reduced by distributing a problem over several processors. Multiprocessor computers used to be quite expensive, and not everybody had access to them. Since 2005, x86-compatible CPUs designed for desktop computers are available with two 'cores', which essentially makes them dualprocessor systems. More cores per CPU are to follow. This cheap extra computing power has to be used efficiently, which equires parallel programming. Parallel programming methods that work on dual-core PCs also work on larger shared memory systems, and a program designed for a cluster or other type of distributed memory system will also perform well on your dual-core (or multi-core) PC. The goal of this tutorial is to give an introduction into all aspects of parallel programming that are necessary to write ones own parallel programs. To achieve this, it explains the various existing architectures of parallel c…

An Introduction to Trade and Commodity Finance - Gideon de Jong - Paperback (9789463013345)
An Introduction to Trade and Commodity Finance - Gideon de Jong - Paperback (9789463013345)
What do steel, coffee and gasoline have in common? They are commodities which are globally consumed on a daily basis. Before being consumed, the materials make their way through their value chains. Traders play a key role in these chains. They match supply and demand by purchasing and selling commodities. As the commodity markets involve trillions of dollars, this leads to a substantial financing need, which has led to the emergence of the field of Trade & Commodity Finance. This book provides an accessible and comprehensive introduction to the fascinating topic of Trade & Commodity Finance. This book will be of interest both to people with a general interest in the field and to trade and finance professionals. The book contains five sections: commodities and trade; traders; industry specifics; banks; and financial analysis. Examples and illustrations from the metals industry clarify the arguments made in the text. This makes it a recommended read for every person who would like to lea…

Images of occupation in Dutch film - Wendy Burke - eBook (9789048527090)
Images of occupation in Dutch film - Wendy Burke - eBook (9789048527090)
Images of Occupation in Dutch Film is the first book in English to examine changing representations of the German wartime occupation of the Netherlands within Dutch post-war feature films made in the period 1962 to 1986. This important new study explores in detail the complex, evolving role played by film within Dutch cultural memory and asks to what extent film can fully embrace, transmit or assimilate the complexities and collective legacies of war and occupation. As Dutch public opinion towards the war altered over the post-war decades - attitudes to the 1940-1945 occupation, Jewish persecution, the enemy, deprivations, resistance and collaboration - so too shifted the presence - or indeed absence - of these elements in subsequent films. The historical trajectory of Dutch recovery and reconstruction: politically, economically and - most complex of all - psychologically, came to be revealed, often unconsciously, in the films from that time. Through detailed analyses of eight key film…

Many scientific computations require a considerable amount of computing time. This computing time can be reduced by distributing a problem over several processors. Multiprocessor computers used to be quite expensive, and not everybody had access to them. Since 2005, x86-compatible CPUs designed for desktop computers are available with two 'cores', which essentially makes them dualprocessor systems. More cores per CPU are to follow. This cheap extra computing power has to be used efficiently, which equires parallel programming. Parallel programming methods that work on dual-core PCs also work on larger shared memory systems, and a program designed for a cluster or other type of distributed memory system will also perform well on your dual-core (or multi-core) PC. The goal of this tutorial is to give an introduction into all aspects of parallel programming that are necessary to write ones own parallel programs. To achieve this, it explains the various existing architectures of parallel computers, the software needed for parallel programming, and how to install and configure it, how to analyse software and find the points where parallelisation might be helpful, how to write parallel programs for shared memory computers using OpenMP, how to write parallel programs for or distributed memory computers using MPI and ScaLA-PACK. This tutorial mainly aims at writing parallel programs for solving linear equation systems. Hopefully it is also useful to give some help for parallelising programs for other applications. Contents: 1. Introduction 2. System Architectures 3. Software 4. Performance Analysis 5. SHALE - a program for spherical harmonic analysis Bibliography Index URL http://www.vssd.nl/hlf/a019.htm
