What makes computer programs fast or slow? To answer this question, we have to get behind the abstractions of programming languages and look at how a computer really works. This book examines and explains a variety of scientific programming models (programming models relevant to scientists) with an emphasis on how programming constructs map to different parts of the computer´s architecture. Two themes emerge: program speed and program modularity. Throughout this book, the premise is to "get under the hood," and the discussion is tied to specific programs.
"Scientific Programming and Computer Architecture is an original book written clearly and precisely, and designed to provide a pragmatic introduction to writing fast code targeted at scientists and engineers." - Richard Vuduc, Associate Professor, Georgia Institute of Technology
