Aspects of Computational Science
Last modified 13:13:04, 25 Jul 1996 - 4.5K - text
A text book on high-performance computing edited by Aad van der Steen from the Academic Computer Centre in Utrecht and 8 other Dutch scientists in the field. Published by NCF, the Dutch National Computing Facilities Foundation.
The book contains a course in the broad field of "high-performance computing", intended for students, graduate or post doctoral from universities and vocational high schools and for technical and research workers. The course is self contained but some global knowledge (e.g. of a high-level programming language) is assumed. The material can be used by lecturers in courses on computers, computer science or computational science, but can also be used by students directly without further guidance.

The entire book is available here for free in hypertext form and also at other mirror sites (see below).
DBPP is a practitioner's guide to parallel program design, performance analysis, and program construction. It provides tutorial introductions to four parallel languages and libraries---Compositional C++, Fortran M, High Performance Fortran, and the Message Passing Interface---and also reviews parallel performance tools. There are numerous examples, exercises, and references. It is intended for both professional and academic use.
