Overview

This is the first book to provide an overview of combinatorial scientific computing (CSC). Bringing together a diverse group of researchers, it addresses many of the challenges faced in high-performance computing (HPC) by setting the stage for accelerated development and deployment of fundamental enabling technologies in HPC. The text focuses on load balancing and parallelization on high-performance computers, large-scale optimization, automatic differentiation of numerical simulation code, and sparse matrix software tools. It also discusses key topics in CSC, important software tools, and special topics and applications.

Reviews

This text is a deep and--as any scientist working with large datasets will tell you--much-needed treatment of an emerging field, focused specifically on large-scale computing. It is readable and practical, and covers areas that have many open problems, making it an excellent resource both for scientific researchers looking for solutions and computing researchers looking for computational and combinatoric problems to solve. - Computing Reviews, May 2013
