Handbook of Parallel Computing and StatisticsAuthor(s): Erricos John Kontoghiorghes\nFormat: Paperback\nPublisher: Taylor & Francis Ltd, United Kingdom\nImprint: Chapman & Hall/CRC\nISBN-13: 9780367577926, 978-0367577926\nSynopsis\nTechnological improvements continue to push back the frontier of processor speed in modern computers. Unfortunately, the computational intensity demanded by modern research problems grows even faster. Parallel computing has emerged as the most successful bridge to this computational gap, and many popular solutions have emerged based on its concepts, such as grid computing and massively parallel supercomputers. The Handbook of Parallel Computing and Statistics systematically applies the principles of parallel computing for solving increasingly complex problems in statistics research.\n\nThis unique reference weaves together the principles and theoretical models of parallel computing with the design, analysis, and application of algorithms for solvin.
