Software failures -- History;Debugging in computer

Description

In scientific computing (also known as computational science), advanced computing capabilities are used to solve complex problems. this self-contained book describes and analyzes reported software failures related to the major topics within scientific computing: mathematical modeling of phenomena; numerical analysis (number representation, rounding, conditioning); mathematical aspects and complexity of algorithms, systems, or software; concurrent computing (parallelization, scheduling, synchronization); and numerical data (such as input of data and design of control logic).  Read more... Machine numbers, precision, and rounding errors -- Mathematical modeling and discretization -- Design of control systems -- Synchronization and scheduling -- Software-hardware interplay -- Complexity.
