Efficient and Correct Execution of Parallel Programs That Share Memory (Classic Reprint) - Softcover
Synopsis
Understand how to run parallel programs with shared memory safely and efficiently.
This book explains how to achieve sequential consistency without overusing locks, by analyzing data dependencies and using minimal delays and locks.
Written for researchers, engineers, and students, it frames core ideas about memory access, atomicity, and the role of delays in preserving correct behavior. The discussion ties theory to practical mechanisms that improve performance on multiprocessor systems while keeping the programmer’s intuitive order of operations intact.
- What sequential consistency means for parallel code and why it matters for correctness
- How memory accesses can be coordinated using delays and locks to avoid unnecessary locking
- How data dependencies and conflict analysis guide the minimal set of constraints
- How to detect and handle mixed cycles to ensure safe, efficient execution
Ideal for readers of systems or programming language design who want a principled approach to building reliable, high-performance parallel software.

Efficient and Correct Execution of Parallel Programs That Share Memory
Print on DemandSeller: Forgotten Books, London, United Kingdom
Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book considers a problem in optimizing parallel programs on shared memory computers where data may be accessed from several different processors. The author considers the problem of ensuring that the results of the program are consistent, and as if the operations were executed in some sequential order. A novel method is proposed for determining which operations in a stream may be issued concurrently without changing the semantics of the execution. The algorithms presented in this book provide a solution to the limitations of existing approaches, which use mechanisms that result in severe loss of efficiency. The solution extends these existing techniques and also introduces a new approach to the problem. 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 # 9781332123438_0
