Paperback. Condizione: 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.

Paperback. Condizione: 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.

Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book presents important advances in the development of parallel computing by describing the design for a general-purpose MIMD parallel processor. The NYU Ultracomputer, as a massively parallel system composed of thousands of autonomous processing elements, is an approximation of Schwartz's idealized paracomputer model of computation. The book's examination of the network used to connect processing elements to a central shared memory is a highlight, as the enhanced network, switches, and interfaces are novel contributions to this field. Additionally, the book sets forth the results of analytic and simulation studies of the network and includes a sample of the author's efforts to implement parallel variants of important scientific codes. The work is a significant contribution to the field of computer science, advancing the development of highly concurrent and efficient computing systems.

Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book explores the theoretical underpinnings of high-performance parallel computing using a vast network of microprocessors. The author, a pioneering figure in the field, presents their in-depth analysis of various connection patterns between processors and how they impact the efficiency of parallel computation. They include insights into the 'data-flow' model of computation, wherein the availability of data (rather than clock cycles) dictates the execution of computational tasks. The practicality and potential advantages of applying a purely applicative, side-effect-free programming language for describing and implementing parallel computation are also examined. Through a series of detailed case studies and illustrative examples, the author demonstrates the effectiveness of their proposed methods, establishing their significance in the field of parallel computing and its applications in scientific research and industry.
