Beginning Microsoft Excel 2010.Pdf CYAN YELLOW MAGENTA BLACK PANTONE 123 C BOOKS FOR PROFESSIONALS BY PROFESSIONALS® THE EXPERT’S VOICE® IN MICROSOFT OFFICE Companion eBook Available Beginning Microsoft Excel 2010 Beginning Dear Reader, Microsoft Excel 2010 Tell me if you identify with this question: “What’s a spreadsheet?” Truth be told, this question is a very good one, and because spreadsheets are so vast, and their capabilities so broad, the answer doesn’t come easily. Abbott Katz People apply Excel spreadsheets to countless tasks, but merely knowing how to do carry out those tasks isn’t always good enough. If the user isn’t quite sure about what’s going on in the spreadsheet – and why – it makes it that much Beginning harder to carry out the tasks a second time, let alone the first – particularly if there’s no one around to ask. I’ve written Beginning Microsoft Excel 2010 with that agenda in mind. All too many introductory books slip into the click-here-click-there approach, even as they omit the answers to the “what’s going on?” questions which often lurk in the background. I’ve tried here to cover many of Excel’s capabilities but at the same time tried to anticipate the kinds of questions about them you might ask Microsoft Excel of an instructor, since you probably won’t pay for house calls. The book covers all aspects of using Excel 2010 from the day-to-day moving around a spreadsheet and performing calculations on your data, to the more complex areas of charting and using pivot tables. All of those areas are covered in an easy to understand manner so you can quickly get up to speed with the core features of Excel 2010, whether you’re arriving from a previous version of 2010 Excel or you’re tackling spreadsheets for the first time.

  • Research Statement Deepak Narayanan
    Research Statement Deepak Narayanan The end of Moore’s Law has led to the rapid adoption of a number of parallel architectures, such as multicore CPUs (with SIMD), GPUs, FPGAs, and domain-specific accelerators like the TPU, each with different programming models and performance characteristics (e.g., number of cores, SIMD lane width, cache sizes). Achieving high performance on these architectures is challenging for non-expert programmers like Machine Learning engineers and data analysts, who are increasingly using computer systems to perform expensive computations (e.g., a modern ML model has trillions of floating point operations). These computations will only become more expensive going forward as ML models become larger and the amount of available data to perform analyses over increases at unprecedented rates. My research makes it easier for programmers to achieve high performance on parallel hardware for emerging work- loads such as deep neural network model training and data analytics. My main research focus has involved building systems to execute deep learning computations in a more resource-efficient and scalable way. I have examined this problem in two main contexts: a) At a microscale granularity, how should operators in a deep neural network (DNN) model be partitioned among multiple workers to maximize throughput? I built a distributed deep learning engine called PipeDream that adapts pipelining, an optimization used in conventional compilers and runtime systems, to accelerate DNN training performance with no reduction in the final accuracy of the model. PipeDream introduced pipeline-parallel training, a principled combination of pipelining with data and inter-layer model parallel training. Pipeline-parallel training is now used at Microsoft, Facebook, and Nvidia.
