Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Complex calculations, like training deep learning models or running large-scale simulations, can take an extremely long time. Efficient parallel programming can save hours--or even days--of computing time. Parallel and High Performance Computing shows you how to deliver faster run-times, greater scalability, and increased energy efficiency to your programs by mastering parallel techniques for multicore processor and GPU hardware. about the technology Modern computing hardware comes equipped with multicore CPUs and GPUs that can process numerous instruction sets simultaneously. Parallel computing takes advantage of this now-standard computer architecture to execute multiple operations at the same time, offering the potential for applications that run faster, are more energy efficient, and can be scaled to tackle problems that demand large computational capabilities. But to get these benefits, you must change the way you design and write software. Taking advantage of the tools, algorithms, and design patterns created specifically for parallel processing is essential to creating top performing applications. about the book Parallel and High Performance Computing is an irreplaceable guide for anyone who needs to maximize application performance and reduce execution time. Parallel computing experts Robert Robey and Yuliana Zamora take a fundamental approach to parallel programming, providing novice practitioners the skills needed to tackle any high-performance computing project with modern CPU and GPU hardware. Get under the hood of parallel computing architecture and learn to evaluate hardware performance, scale up your resources to tackle larger problem sizes, and deliver a level of energy efficiency that makes high performance possible on hand-held devices. When you''re done, you''ll be able to build parallel programs that are reliable, robust, and require minimal code maintenance. This book is unique in its breadth, with discussions of parallel algorithms, techniques to successfully develop parallel programs, and wide coverage of the most effective languages for the CPU and GPU. The programming paradigms include MPI, OpenMP threading, and vectorization for the CPU. For the GPU, the book covers OpenMP and OpenACC directive-based approaches and the native-based CUDA and OpenCL languages. what''s inside Steps for planning a new parallel project Choosing the right data structures and algorithms Addressing underperforming kernels and loops The differences in CPU and GPU architecture about the reader For experienced programmers with proficiency in a high performance computing language such as C, C++, or Fortran. about the authors Robert Robey has been active in the field of parallel computing for over 30 years. He works at Los Alamos National Laboratory, and has previously worked at the University of New Mexico, where he started up the Albuquerque High Performance Computing Center. Yuliana Zamora has lectured on efficient programming of modern hardware at national conferences, based on her work developing applications running on tens of thousands of processing cores and the latest GPU architectures.

Download or read book International Benchmarking of Infrastructure Performance in the Southern African Customs Union Countries written by eljko Bogeti? and published by World Bank Publications. This book was released on 2006 with total page 62 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The paper provides a first, systematic benchmarking of infrastructure performance in the Southern African Customs Union (SACU) countries (South Africa, Botswana, Lesotho, Namibia, and Swaziland) in four major sectors-electricity, water and sanitation, information and communication technology, and transportation-against the relevant group of comparator countries using a new World Bank international data base with objective and perception-based indicators of infrastructure performance from over 200 countries. The analysis suggests important comparative gaps in all major infrastructure sectors, although performance varies widely across the SACU region. Performance shortfalls are particularly acute in rural areas where most of the poor live. The benchmarking is envisaged as a comparative input into deeper analyses of infrastructure performance, especially in the context of the ongoing scaling-up efforts (for example, South Africa, Lesotho, and Botswana).

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The first edition of Benchmarking in the Public and Nonprofit Sectors offered public officials and administrators at all levels of government a unique and practical guide to identifying best practices and implementing them in their organizations. Based on the most current research, this new edition of the best-selling guide provides an updated, solution-driven methodology for benchmarking in both the public and nonprofit sectors. Unique in its focus solely on benchmarking, the authors take a step-by-step approach to two benchmarking techniques, differentiating between the two and then providing a new approach to solution-driven benchmarking that requires less time and fewer resources. Benchmarking in the Public and Nonprofit Sectors provides new tools, many updated case studies, and additional examples not only from government and nonprofit agencies, but also from the international community. This important resource will help practitioners implement a quick, proven method as they search for solutions to their most pressing problems. Praise for Benchmarking in the Public and Nonprofit Sectors "This is an important management tool for government and nonprofit managers to make their agencies more effective, efficient, and responsive to their constituencies." -W. David Patton, director, Center for Public Policy and Administration, University of Utah

This book was released on 2005-08-01 with total page 52 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1997, Congress, in the conference report, H.R. 105-271, to the FY1998 Energy and Water Development Appropriation Bill, directed the National Research Council (NRC) to carry out a series of assessments of project management at the Department of Energy (DOE). The final report in that series noted that DOE lacked an objective set of measures for assessing project management quality. The department set up a committee to develop performance measures and benchmarking procedures and asked the NRC for assistance in this effort. This report presents information and guidance for use as a first step toward development of a viable methodology to suit DOE's needs. It provides a number of possible performance measures, an analysis of the benchmarking process, and a description ways to implement the measures and benchmarking process.

Download or read book Health Care Benchmarking and Performance Evaluation written by Yasar A. Ozcan and published by Springer. This book was released on 2014-07-01 with total page 346 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This new edition continues to emphasize the use of data envelopment analysis (DEA) to create optimization-based benchmarks within hospitals, physician group practices, health maintenance organizations, nursing homes and other health care delivery organizations. Suitable for graduate students learning DEA applications in health care as well as for practicing administrators, it is divided into two sections covering methods and applications. Section I considers efficiency evaluations using DEA; returns to scale; weight restricted (multiplier) models; non-oriented or slack-based models, including in this edition two versions of non-controllable variable models and categorical variable models; longitudinal (panel) evaluations and the effectiveness dimension of performance evaluation. A new chapter then looks at new and advanced models of DEA, including super-efficiency, congestion DEA, network DEA, and dynamic network models. Mathematical formulations of various DEA models are placed in end-of-chapter appendices. Section II then looks at health care applications within particular settings, chapter-by-chapter, including hospitals, physician practices, nursing homes and health maintenance organizations (HMOs). Other chapters then explore home health care and home health agencies; dialysis centers, community mental health centers, community-based your services, organ procurement organizations, aging agencies and dental providers; DEA models to evaluate provider performance for specific treatments, including stroke, mechanical ventilation and perioperative services. A new chapter then examines international-country-based applications of DEA in health care in 16 different countries, along with OECD and multi-country studies. Most of the existing chapters in this section were expanded with recent applications. Included with the book is online access to a learning version of DEA Solver software, written by Professor Kaoru Tone, which can solve up to 50 DMUs for various DEA models listed in the User’s Guide at the end of the book.
