Masters Theses in the Pure and Applied Sciences
Author: Wade H. Shafer
Publisher: Springer Science & Business Media
ISBN: 1461519691
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 426
Book Description
Masters Theses in the Pure and Applied Sciences was first conceived, published, and disseminated by the Center for Information and Numerical Data Analysis and Synthesis (CINDAS)* at Purdue University in 1957, starting its coverage of theses with the academic year 1955. Beginning with Volume 13, the printing and dis semination phases of the activity were transferred to University Microfilms/Xerox of Ann Arbor, Michigan, with the thought that such an arrangement would be more beneficial to the academic and general scientific and technical community. After five years of this joint undertaking we had concluded that it was in the interest of all concerned if the printing and distribution of the volumes were handled by an international publishing house to assure improved service and broader dissemination. Hence, starting with Volume 18, Masters Theses in the Pure and Applied Sciences has been disseminated on a worldwide basis by Plenum Publishing Corporation of New York, and in the same year the coverage was broadened to include Canadian universities. All back issues can also be ordered from Plenum. We have reported in Volume 38 (thesis year 1993) a total of 13,787 thesis titles from 22 Canadian and 164 United States universities. We are sure that this broader base for these titles reported will greatly enhance the value of this impor tant annual reference work. While Volume 38 reports theses submitted in 1993, on occasion, certain uni versities do report theses submitted in previous years but not reported at the time.

A General Framework for Analyzing Shared-memory Parallel Programs

Publisher:
ISBN:
Category : Compilers (Computer programs)
Languages : en
Pages : 16
Book Description
Then, abstract interpretation techniques are employed which provide systematic methods for folding related states for further state space reduction. With this framework, we have developed static analysis for obtaining program properties, such as side effects, data dependences, and object lifetimes. The information obtained facilitates program optimization, restructuring, and memory management."

Massively Parallel Algorithms for Trace-driven Cache Simulations
Author: David M. Nicol
Publisher:
ISBN:
Category : Cache memory
Languages : en
Pages : 28
Book Description
Abstract: "Trace-driven cache simulation is central to computer design. A trace is a very long sequence, x1 ..., x[subscript N], of references to lines (contiguous locations) from main memory. At the t[superscript th] instant, reference x[subscript t] is hashed into a set of cache locations, the contents of which are then compared with x[subscript t]. If at the t[superscript th] instant x[subscript t] is not present in the cache, then it is said to be a miss, and is loaded into the cache set, possibly forcing the replacement of some other memory line, and making x[subscript t] present for the (t + 1)[superscript st] instant. The problem of parallel simulation of a subtrace of N references directed to a C line cache set is considered, with the aim of determining which references are misses and related statistics. A simulation method is presented for the Least-Recently-Used (LRU) policy, which regardless of the set size C runs in time O(log N) using N processors on the exclusive read, exclusive write (EREW) parallel model. A simpler LRU simulation algorithm is given that runs in O(C log N) time using N/log N processors. We present timings of the second algorithm's implementation on the MasPar MP-1, a machine with 16384 processors. A broad class of reference-based line replacement policies are considered, which includes LRU as well as the Least-Frequently-Used and Random replacement policies. A simulation method is presented for any such policy that on any trace of length N directed to a C line set runs in time O(C log N) time with high probability using N processors on the EREW model. The algorithms are simple, have very little space overhead, and are well-suited for SIMD implementations."

The Effect of Sharing on the Cache and Bus Performance of Parallel Programs
Author: Susan J. Eggers
Publisher:
ISBN:
Category : Parallel programming (Computer science)
Languages : en
Pages : 16
Book Description
Bus bandwidth ultimately limits the performance, and therefore the scale, of bus-based, shared memory multiprocessors. Previous studies have extrapolated from microprocessor measurements and simulations to estimate the performance of these machines. In this study, we use traces of parallel programs to evaluate the cache and bus performance of shared memory multiprocessors, in which coherency is maintained by a write-invalidate protocol. In particular, we analyze the effect of sharing overhead on cache-miss ratio and bus utilization.

An Object-Oriented Library for Shared-Memory Parallel Simulations
Author: Philip Machanick
Publisher: Rampage Research
ISBN: 9780980451023
Category : Computers
Languages : en
Pages : 190
Book Description
This is a PhD thesis describing implementation of an object-oriented library for shared-memory parallel programming. Although completed in 1996, the work has become relevant again with the growth of commodity multicore processors. While some details of the programming style would differ with advances in C++ since the mid-1990s, the fundamentals of structuring code to match characteristics of the memory hierarchy still apply. Areas covered include caches and the address translation mechanism (specifically interactions with the TLB). The material is understandable for a reader with a reasonable understanding of computer architecture and C++ programming. Some algorithms background would also be useful. A few comments on technology changes since 1996 have been added to the text.
