This book is a comprehensive introduction to all the components of a high-performance parallel linear algebra library, as well as a guide to the PLAPACK infrastructure.
PLAPACK is a library infrastructure for the parallel implementation of linear algebra algorithms and applications on distributed memory supercomputers such as the Intel Paragon, IBM SP2, Cray T3D/T3E, SGI PowerChallenge, and Convex Exemplar. This infrastructure allows library developers, scientists, and engineers to exploit a natural approach to encoding so-called blocked algorithms, which achieve high performance by operating on submatrices and subvectors. This feature, as well as the use of an alternative, more application-centric approach to data distribution, sets PLAPACK apart from other parallel linear algebra libraries, allowing for strong performance and significanltly less programming by the user. This book is a comprehensive introduction to all the components of a high-performance parallel linear algebra library, as well as a guide to the PLAPACK infrastructure.

A groundbreaking approach to unlocking the power of energy for professional productivity and business success&nbsp; The Energy Equation provides a new approach to achieving marketplace success by leveraging the internal workings of your business. The energy of your business is part of a physical system. Just like any other form of energy, it can be drained and wasted or be harnessed and optimized. This book offers a revolutionary contribution to management science that can be used to drive change, improve collaboration, enhance performance, strengthen organizational health and agility, and much more. Author Greg Baker, CEO of Advance Consulting--a leading management consulting and professional development firm specializing in the transformation of people, teams, and organizations--shows you how to use "enterprise" energy to dramatically increase professional productivity and enhance business performance. The Energy Equation teaches you how to "see" the energy of your company, enabling you to understand why some things work and others don't. The traditional "surface-level management" model no longer works in the 21st century; a much deeper view is needed. The Energy Equation will help you unlock the hidden power of energy in your business:&nbsp; <ul> <li>Eliminate unnecessary conflict that saps the energy of your business</li> <li>Build business agility, boost employee engagement, and establish a positive culture throughout your organization</li> <li>Optimize your daily business, manage change, and prepare for the future of work</li> <li>View your business through the lens of energy to see what is really happening beneath the surface</li> </ul> The Energy Equation is a powerful resource for any person or business seeking to adapt and thrive in the challenging global business environment.

This guide is an in-depth look at what you should and should not include as configuration items in an IT Services model. Unlike many other books on this topic, this goes into deep technical detail and provides many examples. The first section covers some useful approaches for starting to populate a CMDB with high-level services.   What is the least amount of work you can do and still have a valid CMDB?  What are some techniques that you can use to identify what business and technical services you should include?  Can anything be automated to work more efficiently?  The second section covers three common in-house architectures:   LAMP stack applications  Modern enterprise web applications  Relational databases, with some brief notes about other forms of database  The final section details how to model applications delivered through the cloud, and what CI attributes can be useful to record. This section covers the three main types of cloud-delivered application:   Software as a service applications, using Google Apps as an example. Platform as a service applications, using Google App Engine as an example Infrastructure as a service applications, using the Amazon and HP infrastructure.  While this book was written to support customers using HP Service Manager, the content which is specific to HPSM is quite small and easily applicable to other ITIL / ITSM CMDB / CMS tools.
