Summary

"OpenACC Programming Essentials"OpenACC Programming Essentials delivers a comprehensive and up-to-date exploration of the OpenACC programming model, designed specifically for developers and researchers aiming to harness the power of accelerated computing on heterogeneous systems. Through clear structure and rich technical depth, the book establishes foundational concepts, from the evolution of heterogeneous computing and OpenACC’s place in modern high-performance computing (HPC) ecosystems to hands-on introductions of parallelism, directives, data management, and interoperability with other parallel programming models like OpenMP and CUDA. Readers are guided through the entire development lifecycle—understanding the core specification, setting up efficient program structures, and mapping computational workloads to GPUs and newer accelerator hardware.Emphasizing practical expertise, the text unpacks intricate details of memory hierarchy and data movement, introduces performance profiling and optimization strategies, and supplies robust methodologies for debugging, testing, and validation. Advanced topics such as hybrid MPI+OpenACC programming, multi-GPU management, and dynamic task offloading are addressed to prepare readers for enterprise-scale and exascale computing environments. Real-world case studies in scientific computing, engineering, machine learning, and quantitative finance demonstrate best practices and reveal common performance bottlenecks and their solutions, making the book a pragmatic resource for tackling industry-relevant problems.The book concludes with strategic insights into best practices for code portability, maintainability, and ecosystem navigation, ensuring readers are well-equipped to write resilient, future-proof OpenACC applications. Guidance on coding standards, documentation, and community engagement encourages readers to contribute to the OpenACC standard and stay at the forefront of HPC advancements. With its meticulous attention to both foundational principles and forward-looking developments, OpenACC Programming Essentials stands as an essential reference for anyone seeking to achieve expertise in accelerator-oriented parallel programming.

  • Fortress London: Why we need to save the country from its capital - cover

    Fortress London: Why we need to...

    A vividly written and timely polemic tackling the burning injustices shaping British society today. 
    ‘Intelligently written and powerfully argued.’ Paul Mason 
    ‘Witty, scathing, and entertaining.’ Danny Dorling 
    Journalist Sam Bright is a Northerner living in London. He is just one of the millions of people clinging on to the coattails of the capital, sucked in by the prospect of opportunities that the rest of the United Kingdom does not enjoy. 
    Our capital is a vast melting pot of languages, cultures, and ideas, and rightly celebrated for it. For many, though, there is no other option. The only place to access the opportunities this country offers is London. Banking, law, politics, advertising, architecture, the arts and the media are all concentrated here. It is almost impossible to reach the heights of any profession without joining the grey hoards queuing for the next tube. As the economic, political, and cultural epicentre of the country, Fortress London acts more like a renaissance city-state like Florence or Venice than the capital of a modern nation-state. And the gluttony of London, compared to the malnourishment of our regions, dramatically affects life chances in Britain. 
    Fortress London argues that to address Britain’s manifold problems, we need first to end the hegemony of its capital. Enriched by a vast array of interviews and statistics, it will examine how our individual destinies, from childhood to death, are determined by the disproportionate power of London. It will explain why regional inequality has fallen off the Left’s radar, even as the Right pays lip service to it, and it will draw on international comparisons to show where we have gone wrong and, crucially, how we can fix it. 
    Sam Bright’s clear-eyed intervention will convince you that regional inequality is the problem — and that now is the time for change. 
    Featuring exclusive interviews with: Andy Burnham, Lisa Nandy, Steve Rotheram, Aditya Chakrabortty, David Blunkett, Jess Phillips, Andrew Adonis and more… 
    In Fortress London, Sam Bright masterfully delves into the science of social disparity and the geography of opportunity, painting a vivid picture of a city that is both a beacon of hope and a fortress of inequality. The book is a top pick for anyone interested in public affairs, policy planning, and the human cost of regional inequality. 
    For fans of James O'Brien (How They Broke Britain), Chris Bryant (James and John), Grace Blakeley (Vulture Capitalism), Ian Dunt (Conspiracy Theory), and Rory Stewart (The Places In Between).

    The fascinating inside story of how the Android operating system came to be. 
     
     
     
    In 2004, Android was two people who wanted to build camera software but couldn't get investors interested. Today, Android is a large team at Google, delivering an operating system (including camera software) to over 3 billion devices worldwide. This is the inside story, told by the people who made it happen. 
     
     
     
    Androids: The Team that Built the Android Operating System is a first-hand chronological account of how the startup began, how the team came together, and how they all built an operating system from the kernel level to its applications, and everything in between. It describes the tenuous beginnings of this ambitious project as a tiny startup, then as a small acquisition by Google that took on an industry with strong, entrenched competition. Author Chet Haase joined the Android team at Google in May 2010 and later recorded conversations with team members to preserve the early days of Android's history leading to the launch of 1.0. This engaging and accessible book captures the developers' stories in their own voices to answer the question: How did Android succeed?

    This memoir of buying and transforming an abandoned olive farm “describes life in the South of France with lush, voluptuous appreciation” (Publishers Weekly). Presented with an opportunity to purchase a ten-acre property near Cannes, actress Carol Drinkwater and her film-producer fiancé, Michel, decide to take the plunge. It will take all their savings just for the down payment, but the beauty of the surrounding countryside and the promise of a new adventure seem worth the risk. As they work to clear the weeds and rehabilitate the abandoned farm, they meet Provence’s quirky locals, puzzle through France’s legal bureaucracy, explore the nearby Mediterranean islands, and encounter the region’s wildlife. This colorful memoir from the Sunday Times–bestselling author recounts one couple’s remarkable journey from being inspired but inexperienced new landowners to realizing their dream of a fulfilling, peaceful life on their own little plot of paradise. “Good-humored and well-written.” —The Washington Post “A fantasy come true, as it will be for many of the readers who yearn to experience the magic of southern France.” —The Austin Chronicle
