Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Neuware - Have you built an app that works on your machine but makes you nervous every time you think about scale Does your test suite take longer to run than your coffee break, or worse, do you not have one at all If you've ever shipped a feature only to watch app launch times creep up, memory climb, or a review get rejected over something you didn't even know was a rule, this volume picks up exactly where those frustrations start. This is Volume 2 of the series, and it moves past the fundamentals to focus on what separates a working app from a production-grade one. You'll learn how to build a networking layer that doesn't fall apart the moment your API changes, how to choose between SwiftData and other persistence options without guessing, and how to design for offline use so a dropped connection doesn't mean a broken experience. From there, the book moves into testing and tooling that real engineering teams rely on, not theoretical examples. You'll set up a modular codebase using Swift Package Manager, understand why compile times matter more as your project grows, and learn how to structure tests that actually catch problems before your users do. Inside, you'll learn how to: - Build a type-safe, protocol-oriented networking layer using modern async patterns- Choose and implement the right persistence strategy, including SwiftData and Core Data interoperability- Write effective unit, integration, and snapshot tests using current testing frameworks- Structure a modular codebase that compiles faster and scales across teams- Profile and optimize app performance, from launch time to memory and rendering- Set up a professional CI/CD pipeline and avoid common app review rejections- Apply on-device machine learning features without sacrificing user privacy- Design for iPad, Mac, and watchOS using shared business logic and adaptive layouts- Implement security practices that protect user data at rest and in transit>This volume is written for developers who already understand the basics and want to build like it matters, because in production, it does. Every chapter pairs explanation with working examples, so you're not just reading about good architecture, you're learning to build it yourself. If you're ready to move from 'it works' to 'it's built to last,' this book will walk you through exactly how to get there.…

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Have you ever optimized a CUDA kernel only to discover it still runs far slower than expected with no clear explanation why?If you've experienced that frustration, you're not alone. The answer often isn't hidden in your C++ source code, it's buried in the PTX and SASS instructions your compiler generates.Most CUDA programming books teach kernel syntax, memory models, and launch configurations. Those are essential skills, but they only tell part of the story. True GPU optimization begins below the source code, where register allocation, instruction scheduling, memory access, and warp execution determine whether your application fully utilizes the hardware or leaves performance on the table.This book takes you beyond CUDA programming and into CUDA performance engineering.Through fifteen comprehensive chapters, you'll follow the complete journey of a CUDA kernel from high-level source code to PTX intermediate representation and finally to the native machine instructions executed by NVIDIA GPUs. You'll learn how to read GPU disassembly with confidence, identify performance bottlenecks, and make optimization decisions based on evidence rather than guesswork.Inside this book, you'll learn how to: Understand the complete CUDA compilation pipeline, from source code to native GPU instructions.Read and interpret PTX and SASS output to understand exactly what your compiler is generating.Diagnose register pressure, occupancy limitations, and instruction-level bottlenecks.Optimize memory access patterns for maximum bandwidth and cache efficiency.Identify, measure, and eliminate warp divergence that reduces execution efficiency.Understand Tensor Core and matrix acceleration instructions and verify when your kernels are using specialized hardware.Master professional profiling and performance analysis tools used in production GPU development.Build a systematic, repeatable workflow for diagnosing and optimizing CUDA applications with confidence.Learn Through Real Performance InvestigationsEvery chapter is built around practical, real-world examples rather than isolated code fragments. You'll examine kernels before optimization, analyze their generated instructions, identify performance issues, implement targeted improvements, and verify measurable results using industry-standard tools and methodologies.Rather than relying on trial and error, you'll develop the ability to explain why a kernel performs the way it does and how to improve it with precision.Who Should Read This Book?This guide is written for GPU programmers, systems engineers, high-performance computing professionals, machine learning infrastructure engineers, compiler enthusiasts, graduate students, and software developers who want a deeper understanding of CUDA performance. Whether you're building scientific applications, AI frameworks, graphics engines, or large-scale compute systems, the techniques in this book will help you optimize with greater confidence and accuracy.Stop Guessing. Start Understanding.The fastest CUDA developers aren't the ones who memorize optimization tricks they're the ones who understand what the GPU is actually executing.If you're ready to move beyond surface-level optimization and learn how to analyze, diagnose, and maximize GPU performance from the instruction level upward, this book is your definitive guide.
