This book was released on 1991 with total page 16 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We use this fact to claim an optimistic approach to guaranteeing consistency will rarely have to backtrack. Valkyrie will detect consistency violations during runtime and roll back offending computations. Valkyrie's optimistic nature allows us to tailor the underlying memory consistency protocol to a form of weak memory that best matches the target application. Valkyrie will therefore be able to deliver the performance of a weakly consistent system while retaining the simple programming model of a strongly consistent system."

This book was released on 1998-07-22 with total page 765 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume gives an overview of the state-of-the-art with respect to the development of all types of parallel computers and their application to a wide range of problem areas. The international conference on parallel computing ParCo97 (Parallel Computing 97) was held in Bonn, Germany from 19 to 22 September 1997. The first conference in this biannual series was held in 1983 in Berlin. Further conferences were held in Leiden (The Netherlands), London (UK), Grenoble (France) and Gent (Belgium). From the outset the aim with the ParCo (Parallel Computing) conferences was to promote the application of parallel computers to solve real life problems. In the case of ParCo97 a new milestone was reached in that more than half of the papers and posters presented were concerned with application aspects. This fact reflects the coming of age of parallel computing. Some 200 papers were submitted to the Program Committee by authors from all over the world. The final programme consisted of four invited papers, 71 contributed scientific/industrial papers and 45 posters. In addition a panel discussion on Parallel Computing and the Evolution of Cyberspace was held. During and after the conference all final contributions were refereed. Only those papers and posters accepted during this final screening process are included in this volume. The practical emphasis of the conference was accentuated by an industrial exhibition where companies demonstrated the newest developments in parallel processing equipment and software. Speakers from participating companies presented papers in industrial sessions in which new developments in parallel computing were reported.

Download or read book Emphasizing Distributed Systems written by and published by Academic Press. This book was released on 2000-06-29 with total page 553 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As the computer industry moves into the 21st century, the long-running Advances in Computers is ready to tackle the challenges of the new century with insightful articles on new technology, just as it has since 1960 in chronicling the advances in computer technology from the last century. As the longest-running continuing series on computers, Advances in Computers presents those technologies that will affect the industry in the years to come. In this volume, the 53rd in the series, we present 8 relevant topics. The first three represent a common theme on distributed computing systems -using more than one processor to allow for parallel execution, and hence completion of a complex computing task in a minimal amount of time. The other 5 chapters describe other relevant advances from the late 1990s with an emphasis on software development, topics of vital importance to developers today- process improvement, measurement and legal liabilities. - Longest running series on computers - Contains eight insightful chapters on new technology - Gives comprehensive treatment of distributed systems - Shows how to evaluate measurements - Details how to evaluate software process improvement models - Examines how to expand e-commerce on the Web - Discusses legal liabilities in developing software—a must-read for developers

Download or read book Detecting Data Races by Analyzing Sequential Traces written by David Helmbold and published by . This book was released on 1990 with total page 36 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Abstract: "One of the fundamental problems encountered when debugging a parallel program is determining the potential race conditions in the program. A race condition exists when multiple tasks access shared data in an unconstrained order and at least one of the accesses is a write operation. The program's behavior can be unpredictable when race conditions are present. This paper describes techniques which automatically detect data races in parallel programs by analyzing program traces. We view a program execution as a partial ordering of events, and define which executions are consistent with a given trace.

Download or read book Enhanced Debugging of Data Races in Parallel Programs Using OPENMP written by Marcus W. Hervey and published by . This book was released on 2016 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Parallel computing is pervasive. The variety and number of parallel hardware architectures increase daily. As this technology evolves, parallel developers will need productivity enhancing tools to analyze, debug, and tune their parallel applications. Current debugging tools that excel for sequential programs do not have the features necessary to help locate errors common to parallel programs (i.e. deadlock, livelock, priority inversion, race conditions). Data races, one type of race condition, are the most common software fault in shared-memory programs, and can be difficult to find because they are nondeterministic. Current data-race detection tools are often plagued by numerous false-positives and may exhibit inefficient execution times and memory loads. Enhancing the accuracy and efficiency of data race detectors can both increase the acceptance of shared memory programming models like OpenMP and improve developer productivity. I describe a complementary analysis technique to detect data races in parallel programs using the OpenMP programming model. This hybrid-analysis technique capitalizes on the strengths of stand-alone static and dynamic data-race detection methods. A proposed, future tool would implement the static-analysis capabilities of the OpenUH compiler to complement the dynamic-analysis techniques used in Sun (now Oracle) Thread Analyzer. This combination is expected to result in an improved debugging experience for developers intending to resolve data-race errors resulting from poor-programmer discipline, erroneous synchronization or inappropriate data-scoping.
