Sinossi

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.
