Books in the Chapman & Hall/CRC Computational Science series

A work on the use of Cell BE and GPUs as accelerators for numerical kernels, algorithms, and computational science and engineering applications. It covers a range of topics on the increased role of these accelerators in scientific computing.

Suitable for scientists, engineers, and students, this book presents a practical introduction to high performance computing (HPC). It discusses the architecture of modern processors, providing a solid understanding of the performance potentials and limitations of current architectures and code.

Teaches students how to model and explore the dynamics of systems. This book shows how to use the powerful tool of Simulink to investigate and form intuitions about the behavior of dynamical systems. It covers ordinary differential equations, numerical integration algorithms, and time-step simulation.

Assuming no prior knowledge of plasma physics or numerical methods, "Computational Methods in Plasma Physics" covers the computational mathematics and techniques needed to simulate magnetically confined plasmas in modern magnetic fusion experiments and future magnetic fusion reactors.

Reviewing classical methods, realistic models, and algorithms, this book offers an introduction to scheduling. This book includes topics such as online scheduling, stochastic task-resource systems, and platform models. It is suitable for computer scientists, mathematicians, and researchers in related fields.
