1. |  By: Alexander Stepanov; Paul McJones Publisher: Addison-Wesley Professional Publication Date: 09-JUN-2009 Insert Date: 10-JUN-2009 Bookshelf Slots: 1.0 | Overview: Elements of Programming This is the Safari online edition of the printed book.
“Ask a mechanical, structural, or electrical
engineer how far they would get without a heavy reliance on a firm
mathematical foundation, and they will tell you, ‘not
far.’ Yet so-called software engineers often practice their
art with little or no idea of the mathematical underpinnings of
what they are doing. And then we wonder why software is notorious
for being delivered late and full of bugs, while other engineers
routinely deliver finished bridges, automobiles, electrical
appliances, etc. on time and with only minor defects. This...

2. |  By: Donald E. Knuth - Stanford University Publisher: Addison-Wesley Professional Publication Date: 17-MAR-2009 Insert Date: 13-MAR-2009 Bookshelf Slots: 1.0 | This is the Safari online edition of the printed book.
This multivolume work on the analysis of
algorithms has long been recognized as the definitive description
of classical computer science. The three complete volumes published
to date already comprise a unique and invaluable resource in
programming theory and practice. Countless readers have spoken
about the profound personal influence of Knuth’s writings.
Scientists have marveled at the beauty and elegance of his
analysis, while practicing programmers have successfully applied
his “cookbook” solutions to their day-to-day problems.

3. |  Algorithms Sequential and Parallel: A Unified Approach, Second Edition By: Russ Miller; Laurence Boxer Publisher: Course Technology PTR Publication Date: 03-AUG-2005 Insert Date: 07-JAN-2009 Bookshelf Slots: 1.0 | Overview: Algorithms Sequential and Parallel: A Unified Approach, Second Edition With multi-core processors replacing traditional processors and the
movement to multiprocessor workstations and servers, parallel
computing has moved from a specialty area to the core of computer
science. In order to provide efficient and cost-effective solutions
to problems, algorithms must be designed for multiprocessor
systems. Algorithms Sequential and Parallel: A Unified Approach 2/E
provides a state-of-the-art approach to an algorithms course. The
book considers algorithms, paradigms, and the analysis of solutions
to critical problems for sequential and parallel models of
computation in...

High Performance Python, 1st Edition By: Andrew Lewis Publisher: O'Reilly Media, Inc. Publication Date: 15-APR-2010 Insert Date: 13-DEC-2008 | Overview: High Performance Python, 1st Edition
Suffering from poor application performance? Reach for
High Performance Python -- the only book that fully
addresses the theory and practice of Python optimization. While Python can
help you implement complex, mission-critical applications from scratch,
poorly optimized code can waste millions of processor cycles. This book
focuses on common causes of poor performance, from the algorithmic roots
of code to Python-specific idioms, and shows you how to make your Python
code as efficient as possible. You'll get a practical view of theoretical
computer...

5. |  By: Randall Hyde Publisher: No Starch Press Publication Date: 14-MAR-2006 Insert Date: 03-APR-2007 Bookshelf Slots: 1.0 | Overview: Write Great Code, Volume 2
The second volume in the Write Great Code series supplies the
critical information that today's computer science students don't
often get from college and university courses: How to carefully
choose their high-level language statements to produce efficient
code.
Write Great Code, Volume 2: Thinking Low-Level, Writing
High-Level
, teaches software engineers how compilers translate
high-level language statements and data structures into machine
code. Armed with this knowledge, a software engineer can make an
informed choice concerning the use of those high-level structures
to help...

8. |  Core Techniques and Algorithms in Game Programming By: Daniel Sánchez-Crespo Dalmau Publisher: New Riders Publication Date: 11-SEP-2003 Insert Date: 22-OCT-2003 Bookshelf Slots: 1.0 | Overview: Core Techniques and Algorithms in Game Programming To even try to keep pace with the rapid evolution of game
development, you need a strong foundation in core programming
techniques-not a hefty volume on one narrow topic or one that
devotes itself to API-specific implementations. Finally, there's a
guide that delivers! As a professor at the Spanish university that
offered that country's first master's degree in video game
creation, author Daniel Sanchez-Crespo recognizes that
there's a core programming curriculum every game designer should be
well versed in-and he's outlined it in these pages! By focusing on
time-tested coding techniques-and...

9. |  Publisher: Addison-Wesley Professional Publication Date: 17-JUL-2002 Insert Date: 23-JAN-2003 Bookshelf Slots: 1.0 | Overview: Hacker's Delight "This is the first book that promises to tell the deep, dark
secrets of computer arithmetic, and it delivers in spades. It
contains every trick I knew plus many, many more. A godsend for
library developers, compiler writers, and lovers of elegant hacks,
it deserves a spot on your shelf right next to Knuth."
--Josh Bloch
"When I first saw the title, I figured that the book must be
either a cookbook for breaking into computers (unlikely) or some
sort of compendium of little programming tricks. It's the latter,
but it's thorough, almost encyclopedic, in its coverage."
--Guy Steele
