Unmatched 50 Years of Supercomputing Unmatched: 50 Years of Supercomputing: A Personal Journey Accompanying the Evolution of a Powerful Tool The rapid and extraordinary progress of supercomputing over the past half-century is a powerful demonstration of our relentless drive to understand and shape the world around us. In this book David Barkai offers a unique and compelling account of this remarkable technological journey drawing from his own rich experiences working at the forefront of high-performance computing (HPC). This book is a journey delineated as five decade-long ‘epochs’ defined by the systems’ architectural themes: vector processors multi-processors microprocessors clusters and accelerators and cloud computing. The final part examines key issues of HPC and discusses where it might be headed. A central goal of this book is to show how computing power has been applied and more importantly how it has impacted and benefitted society. To this end the use of HPC is illustrated in a range of industries and applications from weather and climate modeling to engineering and life sciences. As such this book appeals to both students and general readers with an interest in HPC as well as industry professionals looking to revolutionize their practice. From the Foreword: “David Barkai's career has spanned five decades during which he has had the rare opportunity to be part of some of the most significant developments in the field of supercomputing. His personal and professional insights combined with his deep knowledge and passion for the subject matter make this book an invaluable resource for anyone interested in the evolution of HPC and its impact on our lives. ” -Horst Simon Director Abu Dhabi Investment Authority (ADIA) Lab | Unmatched 50 Years of Supercomputing GBP 45.99 1
The Geometry of Musical Rhythm What Makes a Good Rhythm Good? Second Edition The original edition of The Geometry of Musical Rhythm was the first book to provide a systematic and accessible computational geometric analysis of the musical rhythms of the world.

Parking and the City Donald Shoup brilliantly overcame the challenge of writing about parking without being boring in his iconoclastic 800-page book The High Cost of Free Parking. Easy to read and often entertaining the book showed that city parking policies subsidize cars encourage sprawl degrade urban design prohibit walkability damage the economy raise housing costs and penalize people who cannot afford or choose not to own a car. Using careful analysis and creative thinking Shoup recommended three parking reforms: (1) remove off-street parking requirements (2) charge the right prices for on-street parking and (3) spend the meter revenue to improve public services on the metered streets. Parking and the City reports on the progress that cities have made in adopting these three reforms. The successful outcomes provide convincing evidence that Shoup’s policy proposals are not theoretical and idealistic but instead are practical and realistic. The good news about our decades of bad planning for parking is that the damage we have done will be far cheaper to repair than to ignore. The 51 chapters by 46 authors in Parking and the City show how reforming our misguided and wrongheaded parking policies can do a world of good.

Growth and Decay of Coral Reefs Fifty Years of Learning Growth and Decay of Coral Reefs: Fifty Years of Learning describes how coral reefs have alternately flourished and declined over the last 50 years and the dynamics of these changes. The study is based on recordings at 30 different locations along the Sudanese coast visited by the author between 1971 and 1973. Beyond the Red Sea's desert shores lie some of the richest and most diverse coral reefs on our planet. Over a thousand species of reef fishes matched by a similar abundance of living corals creating habitats scientists were only just beginning to understand. The complexity of the inter-relations was truly mesmerizing. A single intervention such as removal of a key species could cause the whole community to collapse. Healthy corals were transformed into green weed-smothered reefs accompanied by the loss of both corals and fish. Based on the author’s observations of how knowledge and perspectives have changed over the last 50 years this book highlights lessons learned from historical records that may help maintain and reestablish coral reefs in the years to come. Topics covered include: CORAL REEF FISH Fish surveys CORAL REEF PROFILES Coral growth rates Coral distribution Corals on 'Cousteau garage' CORAL THREATS Climate change Coral bleaching Coral diseases Coral sponges Terpios hoshinota Coral predators Coral urchins CORAL – ALGAE CORAL RESEARCH and more . | Growth and Decay of Coral Reefs Fifty Years of Learning GBP 74.99 1
