Book Description
The introduction of high-speed serial communication links and general purpose VLSI routers offers new opportunities in system design. C104 routers can be used to construct high throughput, low latency interconnection networks for use in telecommunications, parallel computers and electronic systems in general. The T9000 transputer with its integrated communication links can be connected directly to these networks, providing high performance data-handling, protocol conversion and network control. This text concentrates on aspects related to scaleable, general purpose, high-performance computing, low-latency message-passing and parallel processing.

The Network Designer's Handbook
Author: A. M. Jones
Publisher: IOS Press
ISBN: 9789051993806
Category : Computers
Languages : en
Pages : 326
Book Description
The Network Designer's Handbook will help anyone trapped between limited bandwidth, fault-intolerant computer buses and expensive, over-engineered telecommunications technology. It will help anyone looking for new cost-effective ways to build LAN switches, RAID systems, multimedia servers or multiprocessors. It will help the small company looking for an edge to break into the market, and the large one looking for ways to improve its margins and boost its market share. This handbook, the result of over six man-years of effort at the PACT Research Institute, provides solid engineering data for the computer systems professional. Four cpu-months of system simulation are summarised in an easy-to-read form, allowing the consequences of different design decisions to be simply compared. The Network Designer's Handbook explains the principles of the new generation of small-scale low-buffer serial interconnects. Using the specific example of IEEE 1355-1995 links and the STC104 high-valency switch chip it shows how this technology can provide modular, fault-tolerant and scalable interconnect. The picture is rounded out with descriptions of network topologies, case studies and many practical tips.

Architectures, Languages and Techniques for Concurrent Systems
Author: World Occam and Transputer User Group. Technical Meeting
Publisher: IOS Press
ISBN: 9789051994803
Category : Computers
Languages : en
Pages : 292
Book Description
During the past fifteen years concurrency in programming languages such as Java rose and fell, and again became popular. At this moment developers advise us to avoid concurrency in programming. They are using a host of deprecated methods in the latest releases How are we to understand the love-hate relationship with what should be a widely used approach of tackling real-world problems? The aim of rchitectures, Languages and Techniques is to encourage the safe, efficient and effective use of parallel computing. It is generally agreed that concurrency is found in most real applications and that it should be natural to use concurrency in programming. However, there has grown up a myth that concurrency is "hard" and only for the hardened expert. The papers collected in this book cover the whole spectrum of concurrency, from theoretical underpinnings to applications. The message passing style of concurrency, developed in the Communicating Sequential Processes (CSP) approach, is considered, and extensions are proposed. CSP's realization in the programming language occam is used directly for applications as diverse as modeling of concurrent systems and the description of concurrent hardware. This latter application may be compared to the use of Java for the same purpose. Concurrency and the use of Java is the subject of further papers, as is the provision of CSP-like facilities in Java and C and techniques to use these languages to construct reliable concurrent systems. At a time when concurrency gives headaches, this book brings a welcome breath of fresh air. Concurrency can really be a positive way forward.
