Optimized linear algebra (LA) libraries that are able to exploit the underlying hardware are always of interest in the high-performance computing community. The implementation of LA software has evolved along with computer architecture, while the specification remains unaltered almost from the beginning. It is important to differentiate between the specification of LA libraries and their implementation. Because LA libraries pursue high performance, the implementation for a given architecture needs to be optimized for it specifically. However, the type of operations included in the libraries, the input/output parameters, and the data types to be handled are common to all of them. This is why, while the specification remains constant, the implementation evolves with the creation of new architectures. Developing Linear Algebra Codes on Modern Processors: Emerging Research and Opportunities presents the main characteristics of LA libraries, showing the differences between the standards for sparse and dense versions. It further explores relevant linear algebra problems and shows, in a clear and understandable way, how to solve them using different computer architectures. Covering topics such as programming models, batched computing, and distributed memory platforms, this premier reference source is an excellent resource for programmers, computer scientists, engineers, students and faculty of higher education, librarians, researchers, and academicians.

Cyber-professionals recognize that some defensive measures could exacerbate cyber-defense challenges by motivating attackers to adapt—unintentionally inspiring attackers to develop more potent and resilient capabilities. Further study in this area is required to ensure defense and security practices are up to date. Adaptive Security and Cyber Assurance for Risk-Based Decision Making explores decision making in the context of software-based systems and discusses why it is difficult to achieve. It also identifies a discipline termed cyber-assurance, which considers the interactions of assurance-enhancing technology, system architecture, and the development life cycle. Covering key topics such as cyber assurance, security, and defensive operations, this premier reference source is ideal for industry professionals, computer scientists, academicians, engineers, researchers, scholars, practitioners, librarians, instructors, and students.

Recent advancements in graph neural networks have expanded their capacities and expressive power. Furthermore, practical applications have begun to emerge in a variety of fields including recommendation systems, fake news detection, traffic prediction, molecular structure in chemistry, antibacterial discovery physics simulations, and more. As a result, a boom of research at the juncture of graph theory and deep learning has revolutionized many areas of research. However, while graph neural networks have drawn a lot of attention, they still face many challenges when it comes to applying them to other domains, from a conceptual understanding of methodologies to scalability and interpretability in a real system. Concepts and Techniques of Graph Neural Networks provides a stepwise discussion, an exhaustive literature review, detailed analysis and discussion, rigorous experimentation results, and application-oriented approaches that are demonstrated with respect to applications of graph neural networks. The book also develops the understanding of concepts and techniques of graph neural networks and establishes the familiarity of different real applications in various domains for graph neural networks. Covering key topics such as graph data, social networks, deep learning, and graph clustering, this premier reference source is ideal for industry professionals, researchers, scholars, academicians, practitioners, instructors, and students.

An engaging introduction to vectors and matrices and the algorithms that operate on them, intended for the student who knows how to program. Mathematical concepts and computational problems are motivated by applications in computer science. The reader learns by "doing," writing programs to implement the mathematical concepts and using them to carry out tasks and explore the applications. Examples include: error-correcting codes, transformations in graphics, face detection, encryption and secret-sharing, integer factoring, removing perspective from an image, PageRank (Google's ranking algorithm), and cancer detection from cell features. A companion web site, codingthematrix.com provides data and support code. Most of the assignments can be auto-graded online. Over two hundred illustrations, including a selection of relevant "xkcd" comics. Chapters: "The Function," "The Field," "The Vector," "The Vector Space," "The Matrix," "The Basis," "Dimension," "Gaussian Elimination," "The Inner Product," "Special Bases," "The Singular Value Decomposition," "The Eigenvector," "The Linear Program" A new edition of this text, incorporating corrections and an expanded index, has been issued as of September 4, 2013, and will soon be available on Amazon.

Computational methods are rapidly becoming major tools of theoretical, pharmaceutical, materials, and biological chemists. Accordingly, the mathematical models and numerical analysis that underlie these methods have an increasingly important and direct role to play in the progress of many areas of chemistry. This book explores the research interface between computational chemistry and the mathematical sciences. In language that is aimed at non-specialists, it documents some prominent examples of past successful cross-fertilizations between the fields and explores the mathematical research opportunities in a broad cross-section of chemical research frontiers. It also discusses cultural differences between the two fields and makes recommendations for overcoming those differences and generally promoting this interdisciplinary work.
