Business Solutions, Inc., is falling apart at the seams. While employees kill time stalking free snacks and filming porn in the HQ stairwells, the company's co-CEOs bring in shadowy corporate consultants to shake up their business in ways even they don't understand. As the communications manager tasked with translating C-suite doublespeak, Will Evans is constantly torn between his blue-collar warehouse past and his white-collar future. When he is put in charge of rolling out a dubious strategy the consultants brand Optelligence, Will is thrust deep into a muddle of absurdity and responsibility he never expected. Enter Anna Reed, corporate mercenary with heels as high as her ambition. To her, BSI is just a steppingstone to a better job at a smarter company. Demoted to Will's team on her first day, she's ready to steamroll anyone to get her career back on track.

This book constitutes the thoroughly refereed post-workshop proceedings of the First and the Second International Workshop on OpenMP, IWOMP 2005 and IWOMP 2006, held in Eugene, OR, USA, and in Reims, France, in June 2005 and 2006 respectively. The first part of the book presents 16 revised full papers carefully reviewed and selected from the IWOMP 2005 program and organized in topical sections on performance tools, compiler technology, run-time environment, applications, as well as the OpenMP language and its evaluation. In the second part there are 19 papers of IWOMP 2006, fully revised and grouped thematically in sections on advanced performance tuning aspects of code development applications, and proposed extensions to OpenMP.

OpenMP Shared Memory Parallel Programming

James Reinders

This open access book is a modern guide for all C++ programmers to learn Threading Building Blocks (TBB). Written by TBB and parallel programming experts, this book reflects their collective decades of experience in developing and teaching parallel programming with TBB, offering their insights in an approachable manner. Throughout the book the authors present numerous examples and best practices to help you become an effective TBB programmer and leverage the power of parallel systems. Pro TBB starts with the basics, explaining parallel algorithms and C++'s built-in standard template library for parallelism. You'll learn the key concepts of managing memory, working with data structures and how to handle typical issues with synchronization. Later chapters apply these ideas to complex systems to explain performance tradeoffs, mapping common parallel patterns, controlling threads and overhead, and extending TBB to program heterogeneous systems or system-on-chips. What You'll Learn Use Threading Building Blocks to produce code that is portable, simple, scalable, and more understandableReview best practices for parallelizing computationally intensive tasks in your applications Integrate TBB with other threading packages Create scalable, high performance data-parallel programs Work with generic programming to write efficient algorithms Who This Book Is For C++ programmers learning to run applications on multicore systems, as well as C or C++ programmers without much experience with templates. No previous experience with parallel programming or multicore processors is required.
