Synopsis
Excerpt from Operating System Considerations for Large-Scale MIMD Machines
However, it remains to be demonstrated that this potentially high-performance assemblage can be effectively utilized. There are two dimensions to this 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. Indeed, for any highly parallel architecture, the relative cost of a serial bottleneck rises linearly with the number of processors involved. Second, the machine must be programmable by humans. Effective use of high degrees of parallelism will be facilitated by simple languages and facilities for designing, writing, and debugging parallel programs.
We propose that the hardware and software design of a highly parallel computer should meet the following goals.

Operating System Considerations for Large-Scale MIMD Machines (Classic Reprint)
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 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. Seller Inventory # 9781332874781_0
