Using VLSI to Reduce Serialization and Memory Traffic in Shared Memory Parallel Computers (Classic Reprint) - Softcover
Synopsis
Excerpt from Using Vlsi to Reduce Serialization and Memory Traffic in Shared Memory Parallel Computers
Hardware design and assembly of a multiprocessor with a very high degree of parallelism therefore poses no new problems. However, actually using all the processing power that can theoretically be generated presents a two-fold challenge. First, several thousand processors must be coordinated in such a way that their aggregate power is applied to useful computation. Serial procedures in which one processor works while the others wait become bottlenecks that drastically reduce the power obtained. The cost of serial bottlenecks rise linearly with the number of processors involved; in any highly parallel architecture, they must be eliminated. Second, the machine must be programmable by humans. High degrees of parallelism require simple languages and easy-to-use facilities for designing, writing, and debugging parallel programs in order to be effectively used.
Our group has proposed [5] that the hardware and software design of a highly parallel computer should meet the following goals.

Print on DemandSeller: Forgotten Books, London, United Kingdom
Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book explores the theoretical concepts and practical applications of parallel computing through a focus on examining a unique model known as the Ultracomputer. The author explores, through a series of interconnected case studies and analysis of previous work, a new paradigm for the design of scalable and high-performance computer systems. This book contributes to the field by introducing the concept of a computational model with a very high degree of parallelism, examining the challenges of using processing power, and proposing a hardware/software design approach to meet these challenges. This examination of the Ultracomputer's memory, network, and VLSI designs provides a foundational knowledge base for further research and development. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. Seller Inventory # 9781332877218_0
