Sommario/riassunto

High Performance Parallelism Pearls shows how to leverage parallelism on processors and coprocessors with the same programming - illustrating the most effective ways to better tap the computational potential of systems with Intel Xeon Phi coprocessors and Intel Xeon processors or other multicore processors. The book includes examples of successful programming efforts, drawn from across industries and domains such as chemistry, engineering, and environmental science. Each chapter in this edited work includes detailed explanations of the programming techniques used, while showing high performan

Sommario/riassunto

This volume isolates the cause of continuing disparities not only between blacks and whites, but among blacks as well. Key factors discussed include the current state of the economy and the influence of public policies.
