CoCo The Colorful History of Tandy’s Underdog Computer

CoCo The Colorful History of Tandy’s Underdog Computer

CoCo: The Colorful History of Tandy‘s Underdog Computer is the first book to document the complete history of the Tandy Color Computer (CoCo) a popular 8-bit PC series from the 1980s that competed against the era‘s biggest names including the Apple II IBM PC and Commodore 64. The book takes you inside the interesting stories and people behind this unique underdog computer. Both noted computer science and technology advocates authors Pitre and Loguidice reveal the story of a pivotal period in the home computing revolution from the perspective of Tandy‘s CoCo. As these computers were sold in Radio Shack stores throughout the United States and other countries they provide a critical point of reference for key events in the unprecedented evolutionary period for the PC industry in the 1980s. The book also features first-hand accounts from the people who created and promoted the CoCo from the original Tandy executives and engineers to today‘s active product creators and information keepers. The CoCo impacted many lives and this book leaves no stone unturned in recounting this fascinating slice of the PC revolution that is still in play today. From early telecommunications experiments to engineering and budgetary challenges it covers all the aspects that made the CoCo a truly personal useful computing experience in as small and inexpensive a package as possible. | CoCo The Colorful History of Tandy’s Underdog Computer

Real-Time Expert Systems Computer Architecture

Real-Time Expert Systems Computer Architecture

Expert systems and real-time systems technology have been developed independently. Expert systems have been successfully implemented in many complex applications traditionally performed by human experts. Real-time systems have been successfully applied in areas requiring interaction with dynamic environments control and monitoring applications for example. Merging these two technologies will yield intelligent systems capable of interacting with complex dynamic environments an area in which human operators exhibit poor productivity due to cognitive overload. | Real-Time Expert Systems Computer Architecture

GIS Fundamentals

GIS Fundamentals

With GIS technology increasingly available to a wider audience on devices from apps on smartphones to satnavs in cars many people routinely use spatial data in a way which used to be the preserve of GIS specialists. However spatial data is stored and analyzed on a computer still tends to be described in academic texts and articles which require specialist knowledge or some training in computer science. Developed to introduce computer science literature to geography students GIS Fundamentals Second Edition provides an accessible examination of the underlying principles for anyone with no formal training in computer science. See What‘s New in the Second Edition: Coverage of the use of spatial data on the Internet Chapters on databases and on searching large databases for spatial queries Improved coverage on route-finding Improved coverage of heuristic approaches to solving real-world spatial problems International standards for spatial data The book begins with a brief but detailed introduction to how computers work and how they are programmed giving anyone with no previous computer science background a foundation to understand the remainder of the book. As with all parts of the book there are also suggestions for further sources of reading. The book then describes the ways in which vector and raster data can be stored and how algorithms are designed to perform fundamental operations such as detecting where lines intersect. From these simple beginnings the book moves into the more complex structures used for handling surfaces and networks and contains a detailed account of what it takes to determine the shortest route between two places on a network. The final sections of the book review problems such as the Travelling Salesman problem which are so complex that it is not known whether an optimum solution exists. Using clear concise language bu

Introduction to High Performance Computing for Scientists and Engineers

Introduction to High Performance Computing for Scientists and Engineers

Written by high performance computing (HPC) experts Introduction to High Performance Computing for Scientists and Engineers provides a solid introduction to current mainstream computer architecture dominant parallel programming models and useful optimization strategies for scientific HPC. From working in a scientific computing center the authors gained a unique perspective on the requirements and attitudes of users as well as manufacturers of parallel computers. The text first introduces the architecture of modern cache-based microprocessors and discusses their inherent performance limitations before describing general optimization strategies for serial code on cache-based architectures. It next covers shared- and distributed-memory parallel computer architectures and the most relevant network topologies. After discussing parallel computing on a theoretical level the authors show how to avoid or ameliorate typical performance problems connected with OpenMP. They then present cache-coherent non-uniform memory access (ccNUMA) optimization techniques examine distributed-memory parallel programming with message passing interface (MPI) and explain how to write efficient MPI code. The final chapter focuses on hybrid programming with MPI and OpenMP. Users of high performance computers often have no idea what factors limit time to solution and whether it makes sense to think about optimization at all. This book facilitates an intuitive understanding of performance limitations without relying on heavy computer science knowledge. It also prepares readers for studying more advanced literature. Read about the authors' recent honor: Informatics Europe Curriculum Best Practices Award for Parallelism and Concurrency.

The majority of the book (Organ Systems) will provide detailed descriptions of histopathological lesions observed in drug development. In addition it will provide information to assist the pathologist in making determinations of the origin of lesions as well as its relevance to human risk. Toxicologic Pathology: Nonclinical Safety Assessment Second Edition includes 2 new concept chapters. The first of the new chapters address approaches for the evaluation of unique therapeutic modalities such as cell therapies gene therapies and gene expression knockdown therapies. While these still represent new developing therapeutic approaches there has been significant experience with the therapeutic modalities in the last 5 years. The second new chapter addresses the nonclinical safety assessment of medical devices a topic of increasing importance that was not addressed in a unique chapter in the first edition. The other concept chapters have been updated and cover important topics including the overview of drug development; principles of nonclinical safety assessment; an introduction to toxicologic pathology; techniques used in toxicologic pathology clinical pathology toxicokinetics and drug development toxicogenomics; and spontaneous lesions. The 13 organ system chapters provide the specifics related to pathologic characteristics differential diagnosis and interpretation of toxic responses in each organ system. These chapters are specifically important for the bench pathologist but also for the toxicologist who interacts with pathologists and function as study toxicologists and project team representatives in the drug development arena. | Toxicologic Pathology Nonclinical Safety Assessment Second Edition
