The rapid and widespread acceptance of shared-memory multiprocessor architectures has created a pressing demand for an efficient way to program these systems. At the same time, developers of technical and scientific applications in industry and in government laboratories find they need to parallelize huge volumes of code in a portable fashion. OpenMP, developed jointly by several parallel computing vendors to address these issues, is an industry-wide standard for programming shared-memory and distributed shared-memory multiprocessors. It consists of a set of compiler directives and library routines that extend FORTRAN, C, and C++ codes to express shared-memory parallelism. Parallel Programming in OpenMP is the first book to teach both the novice and expert parallel programmers how to program using this new standard. The authors, who helped design and implement OpenMP while at SGI, bring a depth and breadth to the book as compiler writers, application developers, and performance engineers. * Designed so that expert parallel programmers can skip the opening chapters, which introduce parallel programming to novices, and jump right into the essentials of OpenMP. * Presents all the basic OpenMP constructs in FORTRAN, C, and C++. * Emphasizes practical concepts to address the concerns of real application developers. * Includes high quality example programs that illustrate concepts of parallel programming as well as all the constructs of OpenMP. * Serves as both an effective teaching text and a compact reference. * Includes end-of-chapter programming exercises.

The Ramayana: A Modern Retelling of the Great Indian Epic

The great Indian epic rendered in modern prose India’s most beloved and enduring legend, the Ramayana is widely acknowledged to be one of the world’s great literary masterpieces. Still an integral part of India’s cultural and religious expression, the Ramayana was originally composed by the Sanskrit poet Valmiki around 300 b.c. The epic of Prince Rama’s betrayal, exile, and struggle to rescue his faithful wife, Sita, from the clutches of a demon and to reclaim his throne has profoundly affected the literature, art, and culture of South and Southeast Asia—an influence most likely unparalleled in the history of world literature, except, possibly, for the Bible. Throughout the centuries, countless versions of the epic have been produced in numerous formats and languages. But previous English versions have been either too short to capture the magnitude of the original; too secular in presenting what is, in effect, scripture; or dry, line-by-line translations. Now novelist Ramesh Menon has rendered the tale in lyrical prose that conveys all the beauty and excitement of the original, while making this spiritual and literary classic accessible to a new generation of readers.

This book is a magical,unexpurgated life of Krishna,told in a spirit of bhakti for modern reader. Krishna:Life and Song of the Blue God,opens on the battlefield of Kurukshetra,on the brink of war,when the Pandava Warrior Arjuna suffers a crisis of courage and conscience.His divine cousin and charioteer,the Blue God,begins to expound the eternal dharma to him.The exposition between two teeming armies is the Bhagavad-Gita,the Song of God. The story quickly shifts back to Krishna s birth, and then again to the battle field;and so on,from song to life,chapter by chapter,until finally both narratives flow together near the end,just before the Great War erupts.Never before have Krishna s holy Gita(from the Mahabharata) and his brilliant,unforgettable life(from the Bhagavata Purana) been juxtaposed so vividly and with such an enchatment as this book.

Product Description Even after he has composed the awesome Mahabharata, the Maharishi Vyasa finds no peace. Narada Muni says to him, Ordinary men will be delighted by your work, but what about the Sages of heaven and earth? You have described the human life, its strife and its ends, but you have not yet described the Lord himself. You must turn your great gift to that task; only then will you find peace. Veda Vyasa composes the Bhagavata Purana, in eighteen thousand slokas and twelve kandas. He teaches it to his illumined son Suka, who narrates the Secret Purana to Yudhishtira s heir, King Parikshit, on the banks of the Ganga. The Bhagavata Purana is a living embodiment of the Lord Narayana and claims to bestow moksha merely by being heard. Just before Krishna, the Avatara, leaves the world, Uddhava says to him, leave us a tangible form, Lord, in which we can find you, touch you, and be near you. Krishna enters the Bhagavata Purana with all of his being. This book is a full literary rendering of the Bhagavata Purana, bringing all the wonder, wisdom and grace of the Book of God to the modern reader.

Rupa and Co.

The Bhagavad Gita contains the voice of God and it speaks to each of us,to every mind and heart individually.This intimate communion transcends the merely intellectual-sarvash-in every way. A part of the grand epic the Mahabharata,the Bhagavad Gita is a conversation between the great Pandava hero Arjuna and Krishna-the lord Vishnu incarnate.As Arjuna stands on the battlefield of Kurukshetra,readying to fight an army comrising his relatives,even his own guru,he is overcome with despair.He turns to his friend Krishna for advice and the ensuing conversation between the two is the highest expression of philosophical Hinduism.During the discourse,Krishna reveals his identity as the Supreme Being Himself,blessing Arjuna with an awe-inspiring glimpse of His divine absolute form. While translating this,the Song of God,Ramesh Menon has remained as consistently faithful to the original as possible,without overly comromising its poetry.

The greatest Indian epic, The Mahabharata, is the tale of life - its intrigues, its joys, its sorrows and about the elusive truth. First composed in verse, coming down the centuries through the ancient oral tradition, the epic has deeply influenced the history, culture, and arts of the subcontinent, as well as most of South-East Asia. The Mahabharata tells of a great war and the events that lead upto it. The battlefield of Kurukshetra and the eventual victory of one of the warring factions leads to the end of a yuga and a new world order comes into existence. The epic is a treasure trove of human feelings and anguish while at the heart of it lies the Song of God, the Bhagavad Gita. At one level, all the restless action of the epic is a quest for the Gita and its sacred stillness. The Gita remains the holiest of all Hindu texts while The Mahabharata continues to enamour readers and scholars all over the world. This new rendering retells the Mahabharata to the contemporary reader in lyrical, modern prose. Without being too short or forbiddingly long, it brings alive all the epic's excitement, magic and grandeur to our times. Published in two Volumes the Book has 821 Pags in Volume.1 and 718 Pages in Vol.2,totalling 1539 Pges.
