Jython is an open source implementation of the high-level, dynamic, object-oriented scripting language Python seamlessly integrated with the Java platform. The predecessor to Jython, JPython, is certified as 100% Pure Java. Jython is freely available for both commercial and noncommercial use and is distributed with source code. Jython is...

This book covers technologies, applications, tools, languages, procedures, advantages, and disadvantages of reconfigurable supercomputing using Field Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGAs). The target audience is the community of users of High Performance Computers (HPC) who may benefit from porting their applications into a reconfigurable...

High-performance system architectures are increasingly exploiting heterogeneity: multi- and manycore-based systems are complemented by coprocessors, accelerators, and reconfigurable units providing huge computational power. However, applications of scientific interest (e.g. in high-performance computing and numerical simulation) are not yet...

It may sound less surprising that in a field with such a revolutionary methodological impact on all sciences and...

In the decade since the publication of the first edition of “Explorations in Quantum Computing” the field has blossomed into a rich and diverse body of knowledge, and tremendous progress has been made on building functional quantum computer hardware. Yet I find that a discussion of applications of quantum computers still remains...
