Job Scheduling Strategies for Parallel Processing


Book Description

This book constitutes the thoroughly refereed post-workshop proceedings of the 4th International Workshop on Job Scheduling Strategies for Parallel Processing held during IPPS/SPDP'98, in Orlando, Florida, USA, in March 1998. The 13 revised full papers presented have gone through an iterated reviewing process and give a report on the state of the art in the area.




Shared Memory Multiprocessing


Book Description

Shared memory multiprocessors are becoming the dominant architecture for small-scale parallel computation. This book is the first to provide a coherent review of current research in shared memory multiprocessing in the United States and Japan. It focuses particularly on scalable architecture that will be able to support hundreds of microprocessors as well as on efficient and economical ways of connecting these fast microprocessors. The 20 contributions are divided into sections covering the experience to date with multiprocessors, cache coherency, software systems, and examples of scalable shared memory multiprocessors.

Performance Analysis of Network Architectures


Book Description

Three approaches can be applied to determine the performance of parallel and distributed computer systems: measurement, simulation, and mathematical methods. This book introduces various network architectures for parallel and distributed systems as well as for systems-on-chips, and presents a strategy for developing a generator for automatic model derivation. It will appeal to researchers and students in network architecture design and performance analysis.
