Description
This is a summary of a book on supercomputing. The book has six chapters, each discussing supercomputing from a different perspective. The first chapter discusses general aspects of supercomputing from both hardware and software engineering points of view. The second chapter discusses homotopy algorithms. The third chapter discusses parallel processing. The fourth chapter discusses high-performance computing. The fifth chapter discusses big data. The sixth chapter discusses future directions for supercomputing.
The first volume in this new series has a companion in volume 2 (unseen), Parallel processing in computational mechanics . The first six contributions present general aspects of supercomputing from both hardware and software engineering points of view. Subsequent chapters discuss homotopy algorithms
