This book was released on 2014-07-24 with total page 158 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book offers readers a set of new approaches and tools a set of tools and techniques for facing challenges in parallelization with design of embedded systems. It provides an advanced parallel simulation infrastructure for efficient and effective system-level model validation and development so as to build better products in less time. Since parallel discrete event simulation (PDES) has the potential to exploit the underlying parallel computational capability in today’s multi-core simulation hosts, the author begins by reviewing the parallelization of discrete event simulation, identifying problems and solutions. She then describes out-of-order parallel discrete event simulation (OoO PDES), a novel approach for efficient validation of system-level designs by aggressively exploiting the parallel capabilities of todays’ multi-core PCs. This approach enables readers to design simulators that can fully exploit the parallel processing capability of the multi-core system to achieve fast speed simulation, without loss of simulation and timing accuracy. Based on this parallel simulation infrastructure, the author further describes automatic approaches that help the designer quickly to narrow down the debugging targets in faulty ESL models with parallelism.

Download or read book Multi configuration Simulation Algorithms for the Evaluation of Computer Architecture Designs written by Rabin Andrew Sugumar and published by . This book was released on 1993 with total page 384 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Abstract: "In computer architecture design, a number of candidate design are simulated on representative workloads, and the most satisfactory design in terms of cost and performance is chosen. This simulation process is time-consuming, especially memory hierarchy simulation, and is a bottleneck in architectural design. In this thesis the multi-configuration simulation approach is adopted for speeding up the simulation process. This approach is based on the observation that the behavior of adjacent design configurations is largely similar, and that the similarity may be exploited to reduce simulation work; significant reductions in simulation time are obtained by a synergistic simulation of many design configurations. A suite of multi-configuration simulation algorithms is developed for memory hierarchy simulation. The suite includes 1. An algorithm for set-associative cache simulation based on a new data structure (the generalized binomial tree) which runs about two times faster than earlier algorithms. 2. An algorithm for direct mapped cache simulation based on a novel tag inclusion property which also gives a factor of two improvement over an earlier algorithm. 3. An innovative limited lookahead algorithm with stack repair for simulating the OPT replacement strategy in caches. 4. Novel multi-configuration simulation algorithms for write-buffers. A simulation package, Cheetah, based on these algorithms has been developed and used in the following modeling and optimization studies. First, a new model, the OPT model, is introduced for classifying cache misses. Unlike earlier models, the OPT model accounts for misses resulting from sub-optimal replacement policies used in practical caches. Experimental characterizations based on the OPT model of the cache misses occurring in the SPEC benchmarks are then presented. The results demonstrate that the replacement policy contributes to a significant fraction of cache misses. Second, the hit-miss and reuse behavior of individual load/store instructions of the SPEC benchmarks are profiled. The profiles show that a small number of instructions contribute to a large percentage of the misses. By scheduling the instructions that miss to hide latency, a factor of three improvement is demonstrated for loop-dominated code. By partially controlling cache replacement using the profile information on data reuse up to a 20% reduction in miss ratio is demonstrated."

Download or read book Parallel Programming written by Thomas Rauber and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2013-06-13 with total page 523 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Innovations in hardware architecture, like hyper-threading or multicore processors, mean that parallel computing resources are available for inexpensive desktop computers. In only a few years, many standard software products will be based on concepts of parallel programming implemented on such hardware, and the range of applications will be much broader than that of scientific computing, up to now the main application area for parallel computing. Rauber and Rünger take up these recent developments in processor architecture by giving detailed descriptions of parallel programming techniques that are necessary for developing efficient programs for multicore processors as well as for parallel cluster systems and supercomputers. Their book is structured in three main parts, covering all areas of parallel computing: the architecture of parallel systems, parallel programming models and environments, and the implementation of efficient application algorithms. The emphasis lies on parallel programming techniques needed for different architectures. For this second edition, all chapters have been carefully revised. The chapter on architecture of parallel systems has been updated considerably, with a greater emphasis on the architecture of multicore systems and adding new material on the latest developments in computer architecture. Lastly, a completely new chapter on general-purpose GPUs and the corresponding programming techniques has been added. The main goal of the book is to present parallel programming techniques that can be used in many situations for a broad range of application areas and which enable the reader to develop correct and efficient parallel programs. Many examples and exercises are provided to show how to apply the techniques. The book can be used as both a textbook for students and a reference book for professionals. The material presented has been used for courses in parallel programming at different universities for many years.

This book was released on 2013-11-21 with total page 300 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume provides the proceedings of the First European Workshop on Parallel Processing Techniques for Simulation which was held at the end of October 1985. The Workshop was organized within the framework of a joint project sponsored by the Commission of the European Communities under the research part of the multiannua1 programme in the field of Data Processing aming at promoting collaborative research work in the Community. The project involved collaborative work between the Complex Systems Group of the Control Systems Centre at UMIST, the Systems Reliability Service of the United Kingdom Atomic Energy Authority and the University of Bergamo, Italy. The aim of this project was to develop decomposition coordination techniques which would be of help in the simulation of complex dynamical systems on parallel processing facilities. One of the major aims of the Workshop was to report on the results produced within the project and to try to relate these to the leading work going on in this field in other centres of excellence. With this in mind, the Proceedings Volume is split up into a number of parts corresponding to the main sessions within the Workshop programme.

Download or read book Embedded Software Design and Programming of Multiprocessor System on Chip written by Katalin Popovici and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2010-03-03 with total page 246 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Current multimedia and telecom applications require complex, heterogeneous multiprocessor system on chip (MPSoC) architectures with specific communication infrastructure in order to achieve the required performance. Heterogeneous MPSoC includes different types of processing units (DSP, microcontroller, ASIP) and different communication schemes (fast links, non standard memory organization and access). Programming an MPSoC requires the generation of efficient software running on MPSoC from a high level environment, by using the characteristics of the architecture. This task is known to be tedious and error prone, because it requires a combination of high level programming environments with low level software design. This book gives an overview of concepts related to embedded software design for MPSoC. It details a full software design approach, allowing systematic, high-level mapping of software applications on heterogeneous MPSoC. This approach is based on gradual refinement of hardware/software interfaces and simulation models allowing to validate the software at different abstraction levels. This book combines Simulink for high level programming and SystemC for the low level software development. This approach is illustrated with multiple examples of application software and MPSoC architectures that can be used for deep understanding of software design for MPSoC.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This thesis is concerned with the development of a very fast and highly efficient parallel computer architecture for real-time simulation of continuous systems. Currently, several parallel processing systems exist that may be capable of executing a complex simulation in real-time. These systems are examined and the pros and cons of each system discussed. The thesis then introduced a custom-designed parallel architecture based upon The University of Alabama's OPERA architecture. Each component of this system is discussed and rationale presented for its selection. The problem selected, real-time simulation of the Space Shuttle Main Engine for the test and evaluation of the proposed architecture, is explored, identifying the areas where parallelism can be exploited and parallel processing applied. Results from the test and evaluation phase are presented and compared with the results of the same problem that has been processed on a uniprocessor system. (KR).
