Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book explores the design and implementation of highly parallel operating systems, pursuing the concept of critical-section-free algorithms that enable efficient coordination of tasks and resources. Providing both theoretical and practical insights, the author presents a comprehensive study of parallel processing concepts, discussing synchronization primitives, coordination algorithms, memory management techniques, scheduling policies, and more. Through a detailed examination of the NYU Ultracomputer, a prototype parallel computer, the book illustrates the challenges and solutions in building a massively parallel architecture. The author's work contributes to the understanding of parallel computer systems, offering valuable guidance for researchers and practitioners in the field. 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.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book explores a model of parallel computing centered around a shared memory architecture that allows processors to work independently yet in tandem across a range of tasks. The author argues that current limitations in technology and the serial bottlenecks that result from them will soon be overcome with the help of fetch-and-add coordination primitives. This will allow programmers to create robust, scalable, parallel code that maintains both speed and efficiency. The author's work in this area has led to the development of a prototype operating system that demonstrates the power and feasibility of this approach. This book will be of interest to computer scientists, software engineers, and anyone interested in the future of parallel computing. Its detailed examination of parallel programming constructs, synchronization mechanisms, and memory management techniques provides a thorough foundation for understanding the inner workings of these machines and their significance for the future of computing. 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.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the challenges of designing a parallel computer's network nodes. The text positions the detailed study of designing shared memory parallel computers within the broader context of computer engineering and the need to enhance computation speed. The author explores the design of enhanced buffered crossbars and the concept of 'fetch-and-add,' an operation for coordinating tasks in parallel systems. Thematic depth emerges from the insights gained on node design to reduce memory traffic, efficiently manage multiple requests, and prevent serialization. The author also examines architectural features, performance requirements, packaging limitations, and their interplay. The book concludes with a discussion on the significance of combining messages in network nodes, a key technique for improving the overall performance of shared memory parallel computers. 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.

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.
