Humanity is fast approaching the point of being able to answer the age-old question: Are we alone in the cosmos? The answer will almost certainly turn out to be ‘no’. This is virtually guaranteed by two discoveries made in the last hundred years or so: that the Milky Way is just one of countless galaxies; and that the number of planets beyond our solar system ― ‘exoplanets’ ― is vast.But what is extraterrestrial life actually like? What kinds of creatures roam the surfaces of alien planets or swim in their seas? Are they typically in the genre of ‘life as we know it’, or are they characterized by exotic forms and as-yet undiscovered metabolism? In Parallel Worlds, Wallace Arthur argues that we should expect to find creatures that are similar in broad terms to those of Earth. This can be anticipated because the environments of habitable planets have many parallel features, so Darwinian natural selection should work in parallel ways, producing broadly parallel trees of life.This book takes the form of a step-by-step argument in favour of the hypothesis that there are multiple worlds inhabited by life-forms that are broadly parallel to those of our home planet. Like all good hypotheses, it’s testable. The testing won’t be easy, and it isn’t imminent; but it will happen eventually, providing humanity lasts for long enough.

Free Download Theory and Practice of Parallel Programming: International Workshop TPPP ’94 Sendai, Japan, November 7-9, 1994 Proceedings By Vaughan Pratt (auth.), Takayasu Ito, Akinori Yonezawa (eds.)
1995 | 488 Pages | ISBN: 3540591729 | PDF | 14 MB
This volume presents the proceedings of the First International Workshop on Theory and Practice of Parallel Programming, TPPP ’94, held in Sendai, Japan in November 1994.Besides 9 full paper versions of the invited talks by prominent speakers, 15 revised contributed papers were selected for inclusion in this volume. TPPP ’94 focused on theoretical foundations of parallel languages and parallel programming, related implementation issues, and practical applications. Among the topics covered are models of computation, logic, proof, specification of programs, semantics of languages, implementation of languages and systems, and architectural support for parallellism and massively parallel computation.

Free Download Finite Element Methods: Parallel-Sparse Statics and Eigen-Solutions by Duc Thai Nguyen
English | April 26, 2024 | ISBN: 3031487877 | 827 pages | MOBI | 144 Mb
This new edition includes three new chapters, 7 through 9, that have very broad, practical applications in engineering and science. In addition, the author’s latest research results incorporated into the new textbook demonstrates better performance than the popular METIS software for partitioning graphs, partitioning finite element meshes, and producing fill-reducing orderings for sparse matrices. The new Chapter 8, and its pre-requisite, Chapter 7, present a state-of-the-art algorithm for computing the shortest paths for real-life (large-scale) transportation networks with minimum computational time. This approach has not yet appeared in any existing textbooks and it could open the doors for other transportation engineering applications. Chapter 9 vastly expands the scope of the previous edition by including sensitivity (gradient) computation and MATLAB’s built-in function "fmincon" for obtaining the optimum (or best) solution for general engineering problems.

Free Download UK Parallel ’96: Proceedings of the BCS PPSG Annual Conference, 3-5 July 1996 By Thierry Delaitre, François Spies, Stephen Winter (auth.), Chris Jesshope PhD, MSc, BSc, Shasha Shafarenko MSc, PhD (eds.)
1996 | 207 Pages | ISBN: 3540760687 | PDF | 17 MB
Parallel processing is a key topic which is becoming more important as the technology becomes more widespread. UK Parallel ’96 – Proceedings of the BCS PPSG Annual Group is the publication of the academic programme from the first in an annual series of national conferences covering the broad area of parallel and distributed computing. It was coordinated by the BCS Parallel Processing Specialist Group and provided a focus for both research and industrial presentations. This first conference was held at the University of Surrey in July 1996, and contains work from a number of universities within the UK. The scope of the proceedings illustrates the breadth of the work being undertaken in the UK and includes a variety of papers covering a number of important areas, including: compiler development for both data-parallel and message passing languages and the development of application specific software.

Free Download Optimization of SQL Queries for Parallel Machines By Waqar Hasan (eds.)
1996 | 140 Pages | ISBN: 3540620656 | PDF | 2 MB
Parallel execution of SQL queries against large databases offers a solution to the problem of reducing query response. This book addresses the related optimization problem: Given an SQL query, find the plan that delivers the result in minimal time. The author presents and analyzes new theoretical findings and efficient algorithms pertaining to parallel operation at a practical level of granularity relevant to database system operations. The optimization results balance the advantages and costs of parallel execution of SQL queries. The techniques presented are applicable to modern system configurations, where computation is performed on pipelining-capable workstations operating in parallel, and can be used to construct SQL compilers able to exploit parallel machines effectively.
