Algorithms for Modern Hardware

Sergey Slotin is writing "Algorithms for Modern Hardware," a free open-source high performance computing book aimed at performance engineers, researchers, and undergraduate students. Slotin argues that modern algorithm design should favor approaches that use hardware parallelism over those with fewer raw operations, and that college curricula should teach performance engineering right after introductory algorithms. Part I, Performance Engineering, was about 75% complete as of March 2022 and was targeted for over 95% completion by that summer, with a Q3 2022 release date listed. Parts II (Parallel Algorithms) and III (Distributed Computing) have later or uncertain release dates, and Part IV is less likely to be completed.
