Book Review: Petascale Computing: Algorithms and Applications, edited by David A. Bader (Chapman & Hall/CRC, 2007), is the first book in CRC's Computational Science Series, edited by Horst Simon at Lawrence Berkeley National Lab. http://www.hpcwire.com/topic/developertools/Book-Review-Petascale-Comput ing-Algorithms-and-Applications-49727607.html Although the book is a collection of papers, Bader has done an excellent job of creating a compilation that holds together and covers a broad topic very well. At the same time, Petascale Computing remains accessible to anyone with HPC or scientific application experience.While this is a book that just about anyone involved in large-scale technical computing will find valuable, I especially commend the book to center leadership and program managers who, having read it, will find themselves in a better position to ask the questions that matter when planning future hardware and software efforts for their teams.
