C++ Template Metaprogramming in Practice A Deep Learning Framework

C++ Template Metaprogramming in Practice A Deep Learning Framework

Using the implementation of a deep learning framework as an example C++ Template Metaprogramming in Practice: A Deep Learning Framework explains the application of metaprogramming in a relatively large project and emphasizes ways to optimize systems performance. The book is suitable for developers with a basic knowledge of C++. Developers familiar with mainstream deep learning frameworks can also refer to this book to compare the differences between the deep learning framework implemented with metaprogramming and compile-time computing with deep learning frameworks using object-oriented methods. Consisting of eight chapters the book starts with two chapters discussing basic techniques of metaprogramming and compile-time computing. The rest of the book’s chapters focus on the practical application of metaprogramming in a deep learning framework. It examines rich types and systems expression templates and writing complex meta-functions as well as such topics as: Heterogeneous dictionaries and policy templates An introduction to deep learning Type system and basic data types Operations and expression templates Basic layers Composite and recurrent layers Evaluation and its optimization Metaprogramming can construct flexible and efficient code. For C++ developers who are familiar with object-oriented programming the main difficulty in learning and mastering C++ metaprogramming is establishing the thinking mode of functional programming. The meta-programming approach involved at compile time is functional which means that the intermediate results of the construction cannot be changed and the impact may be greater than expected. This book enables C++ programmers to develop a functional mindset and metaprogramming skills. The book also discusses the development cost and use cost of metaprogramming and provides workarounds for minimizing these costs. | C++ Template Metaprogramming in Practice A Deep Learning Framework

Enterprise Architecture for Strategic Management of Modern IT Solutions

Enterprise Architecture for Strategic Management of Modern IT Solutions

The popularity of enterprise architecture (EA) has increased in the last two decades in both business and academic domains. Despite the cumulative interest from all sectors the implementation and practice of EA have been entangled with numerous challenges and complexities. Consequently some organisations continue to theorise the concept which has ramifications on practice and ROI. This has led to many studies that have been conducted to understand the complexities impacting the implementation and practice of EA in organisations. Yet the trajectory of some convolutions remain a mystery in many quarters. This attributes to the struggle to articulate the value of EA in many environments. Hence many organisations find it difficult to apply EA for strategic management of modern information technology (IT) solutions. Enterprise Architecture for strategic Management of Modern IT Solutions provides guidance on how to employ EA in deploying and managing IT solutions from pragmatic and implementable perspectives. Until now implementation and practice of EA have been slow despite its growing popularity and interest from all sectors. This book employs sociotechnical theories such as actor-network theory (ANT) and structuration theory (ST) as lenses to examine and explain why and how challenges and complexities exist and derail the implementation or practice of EA in organisations. This serves to enable practitioners and readers to gain fresh insights on why the challenges exist and how they can be addressed in creating collaborative capabilities for business enhancement sustainability and competitiveness. The book provides detailed insights on how to apply EA for organisational purposes from three main fronts. First it explains the implications that lack of understanding of EA have on organisational activities and processes. Second it examines the challenges and complexities that hinder the implementation and practice of EA in organisations. Third it proposes models and frameworks on how EA can be applied for strategic management of modern IT solutions in organisations. Written for postgraduates researchers academics and professionals in the fields of EA IT and information systems this book provides a valuable resource that will enable and enhance implementation and practice of EA including future studies.

A Software Development Approach for Driving Competitiveness in Small Firms

A Software Development Approach for Driving Competitiveness in Small Firms

The COVID-19 Pandemic has forced many businesses to accelerate their digital transformation strategies to continue to meet the changing needs of their customers. This has resulted in significant growth in the global software market. However for decades managing software product quality has been a major challenge for many software development firms. This low success rate is due mainly to the development and delivery of low-quality software products. In addition to the direct costs associated with poor-quality software software flaws can also raisesecurity concerns as hackers can gain complete control of various devices and data such as mobile phones computers or the operational transactions of businesses. These security and privacy breaches are currently occurring with great frequency. Although producers and consumers of software products spend vast amounts of money developing and purchasing these products in many cases the promised benefits of user satisfaction efficiency productivity and profitability are not realized. In more severe circumstances software development firms have failed and face the threat of going bankrupt being acquired or suffering closure because customers are demanding high-quality software products that they consistently fail to deliver. Small and medium enterprises (SMEs) operating within the software development industry have a more critical need to produce high-quality software since they are less able to absorb both the cost and the reputational impact of producing low-quality output. A Software Development Approach for Driving Competitiveness in Small Firms provides some cost-efficient options that can help SMEs increase the likelihood that their software will be of high quality. It tells the story of the entrepreneurial journey that small firms should take to deliver high-quality software products. By utilizing practical examples and providing several recommended solutions to decrease the likelihood of producing low-quality software the book outlines how mobilizing people processes and technology are integral to the software development process and emphasizes why process maturity is the most influential factor in software development in small and medium enterprises.
