We think of our authors as the most valuable part of our business. We respect our readers and consider their interests and preferences every working day. Manning is a small, personal, old-world publisher where an author's opinion is sought and a reader's message is answered.
Manning's focus is on computing titles at professional levels. We care about the quality of our books. We work with our authors to coax out of them the best writing they can produce. We consult with technical experts on book proposals and manuscripts, and we may use as many as two dozen reviewers in various stages of preparing a manuscript. The abilities of each author are nurtured to encourage him or her to write a first-rate book.

The ParaPhrase project aims to produce a new structured design and implementation process for heterogeneous parallel architectures, where developers exploit a variety of parallel patterns to develop component based applications that can be mapped to the available hardware resources, and which may then be dynamically re-mapped to meet application needs and hardware availability.
Key Features
- Sustainable parallel computing through enhanced programmability and lower power consumption.
- Cost reduction in programmability and implementation of parallel systems.
- Better resource utilisation of parallel heterogeneous CPU/GPU architectures.
This work will enable major progress to be made in programming both current and future (parallel) computer systems. Using ParaPhrase technologies, we anticipate that we will be able to achieve significant parallel speedups for realistic applications and that these results will scale with larger systems.
