This book covers various facets of nanomaterials and their applications including low-dimensional materials along with discussions on in vitro cell imaging, bioanalyses, UV laser applications of scheelite-type nanomaterials, and nanosized cyanobridged metal-organic frameworks, including high spin transition metal ions. It explains transition metal dichalcogenides and magnetic tunnel junction devices as an alternative to complementary metal-oxide semiconductors. One of the main aims of this book is to grow interest in the atomistic simulation process and characterization of these nanoscale devices. Details the recent advances in the application of nanomaterials for nanoelectronics devices, sensors, and memories Describes the first-principles approach to ultrasensitive electrically doped biosensors Discusses the application of nanomaterials in spintronic devices, specifically magnetic tunnel junction devices with new architectures Covers nanomaterials in water purification and conducting polymer nanocomposites in electrochemical supercapacitors Presents the theoretical background of next-generation MRI contrast agents with nanosized cyanobridged metal-organic frameworks including high spin transition metal ions This book is aimed at researchers and graduate students of materials engineering and nanoelectronics.

This edited book aims to present the state of the art in research and development of the convergence of high-performance computing and parallel programming for various engineering and scientific applications. The book has consolidated algorithms, techniques, and methodologies to bridge the gap between the theoretical foundations of academia and implementation for research, which might be used in business and other real-time applications in the future.The book outlines techniques and tools used for emergent areas and domains, which include acceleration of large-scale electronic structure simulations with heterogeneous parallel computing, characterizing power and energy efficiency of a data-centric high-performance computing runtime and applications, security applications of GPUs, parallel implementation of multiprocessors on MPI using FDTD, particle-based fused rendering, design and implementation of particle systems for mesh-free methods with high performance, and evolving topics on heterogeneous computing. In the coming days the need to converge HPC, IoT, cloud-based applications will be felt and this volume tries to bridge that gap.
