Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book introduces the design for its Ultracomputer, a parallel processing machine consisting of thousands of autonomous processing elements. The text begins with the background and motivation for the design of the Ultracomputer, referencing related research and establishing the significance of the project within the field of parallel computing. The Author reviews the ideal computation model upon which the design is based, known as the "paracomputer" model, which allows every processing element (PE) to read or write a shared memory cell in one cycle, describing advantages and potential limitations. The core of the book outlines the design of the Ultracomputer, focusing on the technical aspects of its shared-memory MIMD architecture. It explains the design choices such as the network topology, the implementation of the fetch-and-add operation, the design of the network interfaces, and the packaging of the system. The author provides analytic studies of network performance and discusses system software issues, including cache management and synchronization primitives. Additionally, the author presents a sample of parallel variants of scientific programs to demonstrate the potential applications and benefits of using a highly parallel machine like the Ultracomputer. The text concludes by highlighting the results of prototype simulations and expresses optimism about the feasibility of constructing a full-scale Ultracomputer with thousands of processors within the next decade. The book serves as both a technical reference and a valuable contribution to the field of parallel processing, providing insights into the design, implementation, and potential of highly parallel computing systems. 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. N° de réf. du vendeur 9781333543587_0
