Bøger i Advances in Parallel Computing serien

ParCo2007 marks a quarter of a century of the international conferences on parallel computing that started in Berlin in 1983. The aim of the conference is to give an overview of the developments, applications and future trends in high-performance computing for various platforms.

BRBRDuring the last decade parallel technologies have completely transformed main stream computing. The majority of standard PC s today incorporate multi-processor chips, with up to four processors. This number will reach eight and more processors so

The book 'Data Intensive Computing Applications for Big Data' discusses the technical concepts of big data, data intensive computing through machine learning, soft computing and parallel computing paradigms. It brings together researchers to report their latest results or progress in the development of the above mentioned areas. Since there are few books on this specific subject, the editors aim to provide a common platform for researchers working in this area to exhibit their novel findings. The book is intended as a reference work for advanced undergraduates and graduate students, as well as multidisciplinary, interdisciplinary and transdisciplinary research workers and scientists on the subjects of big data and cloud/parallel and distributed computing, and explains didactically many of the core concepts of these approaches for practical applications.It is organized into 24 chapters providing a comprehensive overview of big data analysis using parallel computing and addresses the complete data science workflow in the cloud, as well as dealing with privacy issues and the challenges faced in a data-intensive cloud computing environment.The book explores both fundamental and high-level concepts, and will serve as a manual for those in the industry, while also helping beginners to understand the basic and advanced aspects of big data and cloud computing.

Deals with the technology of distributed computing. This work covers essential and technically relevant issues in grid computing. It is written by academic and industrial experts who have developed or used grid computing. It includes proposed solutions that have been tested in real life applications.

The international conference on parallel computing ParCo97 (Parallel Computing 97) was held in Bonn, Germany from 19 to 22 September 1997. This book contains the proceedings of this conference and gives an overview of the advances with respect to the development of various types of parallel computers and their application to a range of problems.
