eBook Description:
Intel Xeon Phi Coprocessor High Performance Programming
A practical guide to the essentials of the Intel Xeon Phi coprocessor
Presents best practices for portable, high-performance computing and a familiar and proven threaded, scalar-vector programming model
Includes simple but informative code examples that explain the unique aspects of this new highly parallel and high performance computational product
Covers wide vectors, many cores, many threads and high bandwidth cache/memory architecture
Authors Jim Jeffers and James Reinders spent two years helping educate customers about the prototype and pre-production hardware before Intel introduced the first Intel Xeon Phi coprocessor. They have distilled their own experiences coupled with insights from the many expert customers, Intel Field Engineers, Application Engineers and Technical Consulting Engineers, to create this authoritative first book on the essentials of programming for this new architecture and these new products.
This book is useful even before you ever touch a system with an Intel Xeon Phi coprocessor. To ensure that your applications run at maximum efficiency, the authors emphasize key techniques for programming any modern parallel computing system whether based on Intel Xeon processors, Intel Xeon Phi coprocessors, or other high performance microprocessors. Applying these techniques will generally increase your program performance on any system, and better prepare you for the Intel Xeon Phi coprocessors and the Intel MIC architecture.

Designing the Search Experience: The Information Architecture of Discovery
Understand how people search, and how the concepts of information seeking, information foraging, and sensemaking underpin the search process.
Apply the principles of user-centered design to the search box, search results, faceted navigation, mobile interfaces, social search, and much more.
Design the cross-channel search experiences of tomorrow that span desktop, tablet, mobile, and other devices.
Search is not just a box and ten blue links. Search is a journey: an exploration where what we encounter along the way changes what we seek. But in order to guide people along this journey, designers must understand both the art and science of search. In Designing the Search Experience: The Information Architecture of Discovery, authors Tony Russell-Rose and Tyler Tate weave together the theories of information seeking with the practice of user interface design.

Intersection: How Enterprise Design Bridges the Gap between Business, Technology, and People
Teaches how to align business strategy with Brand Identity, Customer Experience, and Enterprise Architecture initiatives as part of a consolidated enterprise-wide design practice to achieve stakeholder value
Provides a framework for designing systems, products and services as the building blocks of a consistent and coherent experience for all stakeholders in the wider enterprise, joining strategic considerations with the delivery of tangible outcomes
Explains how to make results such as websites, apps, objects, platforms, or environments part of a larger system that orchestrates enterprise touchpoints with people
Intersection: How Enterprise Design Bridges the Gap between Business, Technology, and People
This book gives designers, entrepreneurs, innovators, and leaders a model and a comprehensive vocabulary for tackling such deep-rooted challenges. The Enterprise Design framework cuts through the complexity of Strategic Design work, showing how to navigate key aspects and bridge diverging viewpoints. In 9 case studies, the author looks at the way companies like SAP, BBVA, IKEA, and Jeppesen (a Boeing Company) apply design thinking and practice to shape their enterprises. Moving from strategy to conceptual design and concrete results, Intersection shows what is relevant at which point, and what expertise to involve. Download eBook Free »
