Information visualisation for science and policy: engaging users and avoiding bias

TL;DR: Information visualisation needs to permeate increasingly both the work of scientists and science policy because the alternative is increased potential for missed discoveries, miscommunications, and, at worst, creating a bias towards the research that is easiest to display.

Parallel Scientific Computation: A Structured Approach using BSP and MPI

TL;DR: This is the first textbook provides a comprehensive overview of the technical aspects of building parallel programs using BSP and BSPlib, and is contemporary, well presented, and balanced between concepts and the technical depth required for developing parallel algorithms.

PyClaw: Accessible, Extensible, Scalable Tools for Wave Propagation Problems

TL;DR: The design of a general hyperbolic PDE solver that can be operated with the convenience of MATLAB yet achieves efficiency near that of hand-coded Fortran and scales to the largest supercomputers is described.

A Bibliography of Publications about the Python Scripting and Programming Language

TL;DR: This bibliography records books about the Python scripting and programming Language and related software.

Simplifying the parallelization of scientific codes by a function-centric approach in Python

TL;DR: The purpose of this paper is to show how existing scientific software can be parallelized using a separate thin layer of Python code where all parallelization-specific tasks are implemented.

A bridging model for parallel computation

TL;DR: The bulk-synchronous parallel (BSP) model is introduced as a candidate for this role, and results quantifying its efficiency both in implementing high-level language features and algorithms, as well as in being implemented in hardware.
