This book provides an overview of the ongoing academic research, development, and uses of heterogeneous parallel and distributed computing in the context of scientific computing. Presenting the state of the art in this challenging and rapidly evolving area, the book is organized in five distinct parts:

Heterogeneous Platforms: Taxonomy, Typical Uses, and Programming Issues
Performance Models of Heterogeneous Platforms and Design of Heterogeneous Algorithms
Performance: Implementation and Software
Applications
Future Tre

High Performance Heterogeneous Computing is a valuable�reference for researchers and practitioners in the area of high performance heterogeneous computing. It also serves as an excellent supplemental text for graduate and postgraduate courses in related areas.
