Book Description
As the computer industry moves into the 21st century, the long-running Advances in Computers is ready to tackle the challenges of the new century with insightful articles on new technology, just as it has since 1960 in chronicling the advances in computer technology from the last century. As the longest-running continuing series on computers, Advances in Computers presents those technologies that will affect the industry in the years to come. In this volume, the 53rd in the series, we present 8 relevant topics. The first three represent a common theme on distributed computing systems -using more than one processor to allow for parallel execution, and hence completion of a complex computing task in a minimal amount of time. The other 5 chapters describe other relevant advances from the late 1990s with an emphasis on software development, topics of vital importance to developers today- process improvement, measurement and legal liabilities. Longest running series on computers Contains eight insightful chapters on new technology Gives comprehensive treatment of distributed systems Shows how to evaluate measurements Details how to evaluate software process improvement models Examines how to expand e-commerce on the Web Discusses legal liabilities in developing software—a must-read for developers

Book Description
The papers present in this text survey both distributed shared memory (DSM) efforts and commercial DSM systems. The book discusses relevant issues that make the concept of DSM one of the most attractive approaches for building large-scale, high-performance multiprocessor systems. The authors provide a general introduction to the DSM field as well as a broad survey of the basic DSM concepts, mechanisms, design issues, and systems. The book concentrates on basic DSM algorithms, their enhancements, and their performance evaluation. In addition, it details implementations that employ DSM solutions at the software and the hardware level. This guide is a research and development reference that provides state-of-the art information that will be useful to architects, designers, and programmers of DSM systems.
Software Techniques for Customizable Distributed Shared Memory

Book Description
Zusammenfassung: This book offers a comprehensive survey of shared-memory synchronization, with an emphasis on "systems-level" issues. It includes sufficient coverage of architectural details to understand correctness and performance on modern multicore machines, and sufficient coverage of higher-level issues to understand how synchronization is embedded in modern programming languages. The primary intended audience for this book is "systems programmers"--the authors of operating systems, library packages, language run-time systems, concurrent data structures, and server and utility programs. Much of the discussion should also be of interest to application programmers who want to make good use of the synchronization mechanisms available to them, and to computer architects who want to understand the ramifications of their design decisions on systems-level code

Book Description
Abstract: "The C Region Library (CRL) is a new all-software distributed shared memory (DSM) system. CRL requires no special compiler, hardware, or operating system support beyond the ability to send and receive messages between processing nodes. It provides a simple, portable, region-based shared address space programming model that is capable of delivering good performance on a wide range of multiprocessor and distributed system architectures. Each region is an arbitrarily sized, contiguous area of memory. The programmer defines regions and delimits accesses to them using annotations. CRL implementations have been developed for two platforms: the Thinking Machines CM-5, a commercial multicomputer, and the MIT Alewife machine, an experimental multiprocessor offering efficient hardware support for both message passing and shared memory. Results are presented for up to 128 processors on the CM-5 and up to 32 processors on Alewife. Using Alewife as a vehicle, this thesis presents results from the first completely controlled comparison of scalable hardware and software DSM systems. These results indicate that CRL is capable of delivering performance that is competitive with hardware DSM systems: CRL achieves speedups within 15% of those provided by Alewife's native hardware-supported shared memory, even for challenging applications (e.g., Barnes-Hut) and small problem sizes. A second set of experimental results provides insight into the sensitivity of CRL's performance to increased communication costs (both higher latency and lower bandwidth). These results demonstrate that even for relatively challenging applications, CRL should be capable of delivering reasonable performance on current-generation distributed systems. Taken together, these results indicate the substantial promise of CRL and other all- software approaches to providing shared memory functionality and suggest that in many cases special-purpose hardware support for shared memory may not be necessary."
