Preface
This book discusses the fundamentals of high-performance computing. The study and mastery of these are essential for solving current problems in fundamental and applied science, and will allow the growing demands of researchers for increased processing speed of large data volumes to be satisfied. In this book, we have attempted to combine visualization, comprehensibility, and rigor of the presentation of the material, with an orientation towards practical applications and training to solve real computing problems. The book is based on the authors’ experience of many years of teaching at Voronezh State University of courses with titles such as “Parallel Programming,” “Technologies for Parallel Computing,” “Parallel and Grid Technologies,” and “Parallel Data-Processing Algorithms” for bachelor’s and master’s degree students, as well as a course entitled “Information and Communication Technologies” for upgrading the qualifications of university teachers and research fellows. Since 2002, when it launched its first high-performance parallel computer cluster, the university has been providing teaching in the field of supercomputing. The
