Code! We all need to know about it.

This book teaches the techniques and applications of parallel computing. Fabio Nelli starts with an introduction to parallel programming and the different types of parallelism, including parallel programming with threads and processes. The book then moves on to asynchronous programming, distributed Python, and GPU programming with Python, providing you with the tools you need to optimize your programs for distributed and high-performance computing. The book also covers a wide range of applications for parallel computing, including data science, artificial intelligence, and other complex scientific simulations.

This book introduces the fundamentals of the theory of quantum computing, illustrated with code samples written in Q#, a quantum-specific programming language, and its related Quantum Development Kit. Filip Wojcieszyn begins by covering historical aspects of quantum theory and quantum computing, as well as offers a gentle, algebra-based, introduction to quantum mechanics, specifically focusing on concepts essential for the field of quantum programming.

In this book, subtitled "Attacks on Machine Learning Systems and What To Do About Them", a team of distinguished adversarial machine learning researchers delivers an account of the most significant risk to currently deployed artificial intelligence systems: cybersecurity threats. Ram Shankar Siva Kumar and Hyrum Anderson look at a range of systems ranging from government organizations to academic workshops at ski chalets to Google’s cafeteria, recounting how major AI systems remain vulnerable to the exploits.
