Book excerpt: The sheer computing power of modern information technology is changing the face of research not just in science, technology and mathematics, but in humanities and cultural studies too. Recent decades have seen a major shift both in attitudes and deployment of computers, which are now vital and highly effective tools in disciplines where they were once viewed as elaborate typewriters. This revealing volume details the vast array of computing applications that researchers in the humanities now have recourse to, including the dissemination of scholarly information through virtual ‘co-laboratories’, data retrieval, and the modeling of complex processes that contribute to our natural and cultural heritage. One key area covered in this book is the versatility of computers in presenting images and graphics, which is transforming the analysis of data sets and archaeological reconstructions alike. The papers published here are grouped into three broad categories that cover mathematical and computational methods, research developments in information systems, and a detailed portrayal of ongoing work on documenting, restoring and presenting cultural monuments including the temples in Pompeii and the Banteay Chhmar temples of the Angkorian period in present-day Cambodia. Originally presented at a research workshop in Heidelberg, Germany, they reflect the rapidly developing identity of computational humanities as an interdisciplinary field in its own right, as well as demonstrating the breadth of perspectives in this young and vibrant research area.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book constitutes the thoroughly refereed post-conference proceedings of the 11th International Conference on Large-Scale Scientific Computations, LSSC 2017, held in Sozopol, Bulgaria, in June 2017. The 63 revised short papers together with 3 full papers presented were carefully reviewed and selected from 63 submissions. The conference presents results from the following topics: Hierarchical, adaptive, domain decomposition and local refinement methods; Robust preconditioning algorithms; Monte Carlo methods and algorithms; Numerical linear algebra; Control and optimization; Parallel algorithms and performance analysis; Large-scale computations of environmental, biomedical and engineering problems. The chapter 'Parallel Aggregation Based on Compatible Weighted Matching for AMG' is available open access under a CC BY 4.0 license.

Download or read book High Performance Scientific Computing Using Distributed Infrastructures written by Leonardo Merola and published by World Scientific. This book was released on 2016-11-28 with total page 527 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book aims to provide a deep look into Italian actions taken in some fields of science and high performance computing (HPC), and the Italian effort to bridge the HPC gap with respect to Europe. The Italian PON ReCaS Project is written for graduate readers and professionals in the field of high performance computing. It presents and discusses innovative and important technological solutions, and describes interesting results in various fields of application.ReCaS stands for 'Rete di Calcolo per SuperB e altre applicazioni' and is a computing network infrastructure in Southern Italy devoted to scientific and non-scientific applications within the vision of a common European infrastructure for computing, storage and network. The ReCaS project is part of the 2007-2013 European Union strategy, and was funded by the Italian Ministry of Research and Education (MIUR) for the development and enhancement of a distributed computing infrastructure of the Grid/Cloud type over the four EU 'Convergence' regions in Southern Italy: Campania, Puglia and Sicily and Calabria.The network will be open and accessible to all researchers, public and private, and will be characterized by unprecedented computing power and storage capacity. Posted in the European Grid Infrastructure EGI, ReCaS is also an opportunity to the countries of the Mediterranean area and extends the potential of the current network.
