Full of practical examples, Introduction to Scheduling presents the basic concepts and methods, fundamental results, and recent developments of scheduling theory. With contributions from highly respected experts, it provides self-contained, easy-to-follow, yet rigorous presentations of the material. The text introduces methods for solving various scheduling problems, including resource-constrained project scheduling, machine scheduling, and job scheduling. It covers both the foundations in scheduling and modern developments, such as online scheduling. Along with a number of examples, theorems, and pedagogical proofs, the book provides in-depth coverage of key application fields.
Requiring no prior programming experience, this book shows how to use the powerful tool of Simulink® to investigate and form intuitions about the behavior of dynamical systems. Step by step, the author presents the basics of building a simulation in Simulink. He also offers overviews of some advanced topics, including the simulation of chaotic dynamics and partial differential equations. Written in an informal, accessible style, the text includes many diagrams, graphics, and exercises. It also draws on numerous examples from the science, engineering, and technology fields. Ancillary materials are available on the author's website.
The book introduces the principles of mathematical modeling in science, engineering, and social science as well as basic skills of computer programming. The book is aimed at majors in STEM disciplines that need to understand how to create, analyze, and test mathematical models.
Designed for introductory parallel computing courses at the advanced undergraduate or beginning graduate level, Elements of Parallel Computing presents the fundamental concepts of parallel computing not from the point of view of hardware, but from a more abstract view of algorithmic and implementation patterns. The aim is to facilitate the teaching of parallel programming by surveying some key algorithmic structures and programming models, together with an abstract representation of the underlying hardware. The presentation is friendly and informal. The content of the book is language neutral, using pseudocode that represents common programming language models. The first five chapters present core concepts in parallel computing. SIMD, shared memory, and distributed memory machine models are covered, along with a brief discussion of what their execution models look like. The book also discusses decomposition as a fundamental activity in parallel algorithmic design, starting with a naive example, and continuing with a discussion of some key algorithmic structures. Important programming models are presented in depth, as well as important concepts of performance analysis, including work-depth analysis of task graphs, communication analysis of distributed memory algorithms, key performance metrics, and a discussion of barriers to obtaining good performance. The second part of the book presents three case studies that reinforce the concepts of the earlier chapters. One feature of these chapters is to contrast different solutions to the same problem, using select problems that aren''t discussed frequently in parallel computing textbooks. They include the Single Source Shortest Path Problem, the Eikonal equation, and a classical computational geometry problem: computation of the two-dimensional convex hull. After presenting the problem and sequential algorithms, each chapter first discusses the sources of parallelism then surveys parallel algorithms. ?

The Python source code and data files are available on the author¿s website.
Written by one of the foremost experts in high-performance computing and the inventor of Gustafson¿s Law, this groundbreaking book explains a new approach to computer arithmetic: the universal number (unum). The unum encompasses all IEEE floating-point formats as well as fixed-point and exact integer arithmetic. This new number type obtains more accurate answers than floating-point arithmetic yet uses fewer bits in many cases, saving memory, bandwidth, energy, and power. Richly illustrated in color, the book is accessible to anyone who uses computers for technical calculations.
