Critics Review
Praise for the First Volume
“Jeffrey S. Vetter has organized and edited a definitive state-of-the-practice volume on high-end high performance computing (HPC), as it exists right now. What is provided is an insider’s view of major HPC ecosystems, in a world where petascale computing is the reality. … Consistent editing and parallel presentations contribute to the usefulness of this volume. Numerous figures and tables complement the text. … [It is] an important reference for the high-end HPC community.”
