VECPAR is a series of international conferences dedicated to the promotion and advancement of all aspects of high-performance computing for computational science, as an industrial technique and academic discipline, extending the fr- tier of both the state of the art and the state of practice. The audience for and participants in VECPAR are seen as researchers in academic departments, g- ernment laboratories and industrial organizations. There is now a permanent website for the series, http://vecpar.fe.up.pt, where the history of the conf- ences is described. ThesixtheditionofVECPARwasthe?rsttimetheconferencewascelebrated outside Porto – at the Universitad Politecnica de Valencia (Spain), June 28-30, 2004. The whole conference programme consisted of 6 invited talks, 61 papers and26posters,outof130contributionsthatwereinitiallysubmitted.Themajor themes were divided into large-scale numerical and non-numerical simulations, parallel and grid computing, biosciences, numerical algorithms, data mining and visualization. This postconference book includes the best 48 papers and 5 invited talks presented during the three days of the conference. The book is organized into 6 chapters, with a prominent position reserved for the invited talks and the Best Student Paper. As a whole it appeals to a wide research community, from those involved in the engineering applications to those interested in the actual details of the hardware or software implementations, in line with what, in these days, tends to be considered as computational science and engineering (CSE).

Presidential Libraries as Performance Curating American Character from Herbert Hoover to George W. Bush


Free Download Jodi Kanter, "Presidential Libraries as Performance: Curating American Character from Herbert Hoover to George W. Bush "
English | ISBN: 0809335204 | 2016 | 198 pages | PDF | 9 MB
How do the funding, setting architecture, and exhibition of a presidential library shape our understanding of the president’s character? And how do diverse performances of the presidency create radically different opportunities for the practice of American citizenship? In Presidential Libraries as Performance: Curating American Character from Herbert Hoover to George W. Bush, Jodi Kanter analyzes presidential libraries as performances that encourage visitors to think in particular ways about executive leadership and about their own roles in public life.

High Performance Computing on Vector Systems 2008


Free Download Sabine Roller, Katharina Benkert, Martin Galle, "High Performance Computing on Vector Systems 2008"
English | 2008 | pages: 238 | ISBN: 3540858687 | PDF | 6,4 mb
This book covers the results obtained in the Tera op Workbench project during a four years period from 2004 to 2008. The Tera op Workbench project is a colla- ration betweenthe High PerformanceComputingCenter Stuttgart (HLRS) and NEC Deutschland GmbH (NEC-HPCE) to support users to achieve their research goals using high performance computing. The Tera op Workbench supports users of the HLRS systems to enable and – cilitate leading edge scienti c research. This is achieved by optimizing their codes and improving the process work ow which results from the integration of diff- ent modules into a "hybrid vector system". The assessment and demonstration of industrial relevance is another goal of the cooperation. The Tera op Workbench project consists of numerous individual codes, grouped together by application area and developed and maintained by researchers or c- mercial organizations. Within the project, several of the codes have shown the ab- ity to reach beyond the TFlop/s threshold of sustained performance. This created the possibility for new science and a deeper understanding of the underlying physics. The papers in this book demonstrate the value of the project for different scienti c areas.

High Performance Coatings for Automotive and Aerospace Industries


Free Download Abdel Salam Hamdy Makhlouf, "High Performance Coatings for Automotive and Aerospace Industries "
English | ISBN: 1608765792 | 2010 | 413 pages | PDF | 23 MB
The book "High Performance Coating for Automotive and Aerospace Industries" is both a reference and a tutorial for understanding the most advanced coatings used in transportation industries. It discusses the basics of the materials used in such industries, including the durability to resist corrosion in severe environments. Also, it covers most of the coating processes, testing performance and surface characterisation techniques. It addresses important questions frequently posed by end-user design engineers, coaters, and coatings suppliers in their quest for superior coating qualities for such industries. This book focuses on the industrial manufacturing and application aspects of various coating, thin film and surface engineering technologies for automotive and aerospace applications to fulfil the demands in the manufacturing industry. Therefore, contributions in this book emphasise corrosion, tribological and wear aspects of hard, superhard, nanocomposite and lubricious coatings with respect to their mechanical and physical properties.
