One of the primary methods used to study the physics of jets is numerical simulations that apply high performance computing techniques. Such techniques are also required for analysing the huge modern astrophysical datasets. This book examines those computing techniques. It is a collection of the lectures from the fifth and final school of the JETSET network, "Jets From Young Stars V: High Performance Computing in Astrophysics." It begins with an introduction to parallel programming techniques, with an emphasis on Message Passing Interface (MPI), before it goes on to review grid technology techniques and offer a practical introduction to Virtual Observatory. The second half of the book, then, is devoted to applications of high performance computing techniques, including 3D radiation transfer, to jet and star formation processes. Aimed at graduate students in astrophysics, this book presents state-of-the-art methods, thereby offering interesting new insights to researchers in the field.Lecture notes in physics ;791.Jets from young stars 5Jets from young stars fiveAstrophysical jetsMathematical modelsCongressesStellar dynamicsCongressesMagnetohydrodynamic instabilitiesCongressesYoung starsAstrophysicsHigh performance computingAstrophysical jetsMathematical modelsStellar dynamicsMagnetohydrodynamic instabilities523.82UD 8220rvkGracia J(Jose)1061819De Colle F(Fabio)1061820Downes T(Turlough)1061821JETSET School on Jets from Young Stars : High Performance Computing in AstrophysicsMiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910140008103321Jets from young stars V2520248UNINA
