Intel Xeon Phi Coprocessor High Performance Programming

Posted: 24 May 2013 10:32 AM PDT

Book Description

Authors Jim Jeffers and James Reinders spent two years helping educate customers about the prototype and pre-production hardware before Intel introduced the first Intel Xeon Phi coprocessor. They have distilled their own experiences coupled with insights from many expert customers, Intel Field Engineers, Application Engineers and Technical Consulting Engineers, to create this authoritative first book on the essentials of programming for this new architecture and these new products.

This book is useful even before you ever touch a system with an Intel Xeon Phi coprocessor. To ensure that your applications run at maximum efficiency, the authors emphasize key techniques for programming any modern parallel computing system whether based on Intel Xeon processors, Intel Xeon Phi coprocessors, or other high performance microprocessors. Applying these techniques will generally increase your program performance on any system, and better prepare you for Intel Xeon Phi coprocessors and the Intel MIC architecture.

  • A practical guide to the essentials of the Intel Xeon Phi coprocessor
  • Presents best practices for portable, high-performance computing and a familiar and proven threaded, scalar-vector programming model

Programming Massively Parallel Processors, 2nd Edition

Posted: 24 May 2013 10:31 AM PDT

Book Description

Programming Massively Parallel Processors: A Hands-on Approach shows both student and professional alike the basic concepts of parallel programming and GPU architecture. Various techniques for constructing parallel programs are explored in detail. Case studies demonstrate the development process, which begins with computational thinking and ends with effective and efficient parallel programs. Topics of performance, floating-point format, parallel patterns, and dynamic parallelism are covered in depth.

This best-selling guide to CUDA and GPU parallel programming has been revised with more parallel programming examples, commonly-used libraries such as Thrust, and explanations of the latest tools. With these improvements, the book retains its concise, intuitive, practical approach based on years of road-testing in the authors’ own parallel computing courses.

Updates in this new edition include:

  • New coverage of CUDA 5.0, improved performance, enhanced development tools, increased hardware support, and more
  • Increased coverage of related technology, OpenCL and new material on algorithm patterns, GPU clusters, host programming, and data parallelism

Designing the Search Experience

Posted: 24 May 2013 10:23 AM PDT

Book Description

Search is not just a box and ten blue links. Search is a journey: an exploration where what we encounter along the way changes what we seek. But in order to guide people along this journey, designers must understand both the art and science of search.In Designing the Search Experience, authors Tony Russell-Rose and Tyler Tate weave together the theories of information seeking with the practice of user interface design.

  • Understand how people search, and how the concepts of information seeking, information foraging, and sensemaking underpin the search process.
  • Apply the principles of user-centered design to the search box, search results, faceted navigation, mobile interfaces, social search, and much more.
  • Design the cross-channel search experiences of tomorrow that span desktop, tablet, mobile, and other devices.

Table of Contents
Part 1: A Framework for Search and Discovery
Chapter 1. The User
Chapter 2. Information Seeking
Chapter 3. Context
Chapter 4. Modes of Search and Discovery

Part 2: Design Solutions

Web Services, Service-Oriented Architectures, and Cloud Computing, 2nd Edition

Posted: 24 May 2013 10:15 AM PDT

Book Description

Web Services, Service-Oriented Architectures, and Cloud Computing is a jargon-free, highly illustrated explanation of how to leverage the rapidly multiplying services available on the Internet. The future of business will depend on software agents, mobile devices, public and private clouds, big data, and other highly connected technology. IT professionals will need to evaluate and combine online services into service-oriented architectures (SOA), often depending on Web services and cloud computing. This can mean a fundamental shift away from custom software and towards a more nimble use of semantic vocabularies, middle-tier systems, adapters and other standardizing aspects.

This book is a guide for the savvy manager who wants to capitalize on this technological revolution. It begins with a high-level example of how an average person might interact with a service-oriented architecture, and progresses to more detail, discussing technical forces driving adoption and how to manage technology, culture and personnel issues that can arise during adoption. An extensive reference section provides quick access to commonly used terms and concepts.
