Synopsis

This book centers on adding a relatively minor architectural function to the fetch-and-add instruction used in shared memory multiprocessors. The main goal is to provide a programmable interface between the memory and the network. This interface, referred to as the add-and-lambda processor, receives an address, an increment, and modifies the memory accordingly, returning the appropriate value to the network. By eliminating the need for busy-waiting in parallel operations, this book presents an alternative formulation of add-and-lambda operations, referred to as A&L2. A&L2 permits the possibility of eliminating busy waits in some cases. The author gives detailed examples of how A&L2 can be used to improve the efficiency of various parallel operations. Overall, this book offers valuable insights into enhancing the performance of shared memory multiprocessors through architectural modifications.
