A propos de cet article

Print on Demand. This book delves into the abstract mathematical universe of read-modify-write (RMW) synchronization operations as a foundation for understanding efficient data processing in massively parallel computing systems. The author establishes a new and broad framework for representing RMW operations, a family of memory access operations used in computer architectures. The book extends a technique known as memory request combining, originally introduced in the NYU Ultracomputer, to arbitrary RMW operations. The author provides a formal correctness proof for this combining mechanism and analyzes its practicality across a wide range of memory access operations. This includes a variety of synchronization primitives, such as test-and-set, fetch-and-add, and more general data-level synchronization methods. The work also explores the close relationship between the combining mechanism and parallel prefix evaluation, a well-known computational problem. The book provides a firm foundation for understanding a family of efficient parallel processing techniques foundational to the construction of modern parallel computer architectures. 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.
