If you have a working knowledge of Haskell this hands-on book shows you how to use the language's many APIs & frameworks for writing both parallel & concurrent programs You'll learn how parallelism exploits multicore processors to speed up computation-heavy programs & how concurrency enables you to write programs with threads for multiple interactions Author Simon Marlow walks you through the process with lots of code examples that you can run experiment with & extend Divided into separate sections on Parallel & Concurrent Haskell this book also

Includes:: exercises to help you become familiar with the concepts presented Express parallelism in Haskell with the Eval monad & Evaluation Strategies Parallelize ordinary Haskell code with the Par monad Build parallel array-based computations using the Repa library Use the Accelerate library to run computations directly on the GPU Work with basic interfaces for writing concurrent code Build trees of threads for larger & more complex programs Learn how to build high-speed concurrent network servers Write distributed programs that run on multiple machines in a network

Parametricism is an avant-garde architecture & design movement that has been growing & maturing over the last 15 years emerging as a remarkable global force The tendency started in architecture but now encompasses all design disciplines from urban design to fashion In architecture the style has an international following & is currently progressing beyond its experimental roots to make an impact on a broader scale with practices like Zaha Hadid Architects (ZHA) winning & completing large-scale architectural projects worldwide Parametricism implies that all elements & aspects of an architectural composition or product are parametrically malleable; & the style owes its original unmistakable physiognomy to its unprecedented use of computational design tools & fabrication methods All design parameters are conceived as variables that allow the design to vary & adapt to the diverse complex & dynamic requirements of contemporary society Although Parametricism has been talked about & hotly debated for a number of years so far there has been no publication dedicated to Parametricism The issue is guest-edited by Patrik Schumacher partner at ZHA & one of the world s most highly renowned advocates of Parametricism Contributors Philippe Block Shajay Bhooshan Mark Burry Mario Carpo Manuel De Landa John Frazer Mark Foster Gage Enriqueta Llabres & Eduardo Rico Achim Menges Theo Spyropoulos Robert Stuart-Smith Philip F Yuan Featured architects & designers Arup MARC FORNESTHEVERYMANY Zaha Hadid Architects (ZHA) & Ross Lovegrove ...
