"An introduction to High Performance Computing
issues as a preparation for research and studies in computational science
and computational engineering. The intended audience are students in
science and engineering at the advanced undergraduate level and higher.
Public domain software tutorials are of general interest."
This on-line book, sponsored by the US DOE, is available from several
locations. The principal server site is at
ORNL
where also a
backup system is available.
The Vanderbilt
site is also among those updated most frequently. Of interest may also be the
mirror site at
Edinburgh University,
UK.

Additional on-line tutorials are available from
Joint Institute for Computational Science
U. Tennessee (in collaboration with Oak Ridge National Labs,
Vanderbilt Univerisity, and Memphis State University).
A Hands-on, Web-based course that covers principles of
parallel and distributed memory programming, and the MPI and PVM
message-passing libraries. The course components are on-line lectures
and exercises, communication with CTC consultants and other
participants, and logins on CTC's IBM SP.
HPC-resources for undergraduate and graduate education. Includes
descsriptions or current courses using education accounts and information
about eligibility.
The CTC Math and Science Gateway for secondary
school students and educators provides an easy starting point for
locating science and mathematics resources on the web. It is tailored
to the needs of students in grades 9 through 12, with links to
resources in subject areas such as
astronomy,
biology,
chemistry,
computing,
the
environment,
health,
mathematics, and
physics.
CTC also provides and extensive collection of
From Theoretical Physics, Umeå,
Including: The Pilot to Physics, The Physics Calendar,
Physics around the world, The Living Encyclopedia,
The Virtual Laboratory, and the Physics Forum

Free scientific portal for
MATLAB/MIDEVA m-files and toolboxes, and Excel/Java/Fortran/C++
resources and links.
Complementary products
for MATLAB, like MIDEVA (fast MATLAB replacement),
MATCOM (Compiler for MATLAB), Visual MATCOM (integrate m-files into Visual C++) and others, all available for download.
Real computer scientists despise the idea of actual hardware. Hardware
has limitations, software doesn't. It's a real shame that Turing
machines are so poor at I/O.
