This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 202 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As we continue to build faster and fast. er computers, their performance is be coming increasingly dependent on the memory hierarchy. Both the clock speed of the machine and its throughput per clock depend heavily on the memory hierarchy. The time to complet. e a cache acce88 is oft. en the factor that det. er mines the cycle time. The effectiveness of the hierarchy in keeping the average cost of a reference down has a major impact on how close the sustained per formance is to the peak performance. Small changes in the performance of the memory hierarchy cause large changes in overall system performance. The strong growth of ruse machines, whose performance is more tightly coupled to the memory hierarchy, has created increasing demand for high performance memory systems. This trend is likely to accelerate: the improvements in main memory performance will be small compared to the improvements in processor performance. This difference will lead to an increasing gap between prOCe880r cycle time and main memory acce. time. This gap must be closed by improving the memory hierarchy. Computer architects have attacked this gap by designing machines with cache sizes an order of magnitude larger than those appearing five years ago. Microproce880r-based RISe systems now have caches that rival the size of those in mainframes and supercomputers.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Storage Systems: Organization, Performance, Coding, Reliability and Their Data Processing was motivated by the 1988 Redundant Array of Inexpensive/Independent Disks proposal to replace large form factor mainframe disks with an array of commodity disks. Disk loads are balanced by striping data into strips—with one strip per disk— and storage reliability is enhanced via replication or erasure coding, which at best dedicates k strips per stripe to tolerate k disk failures. Flash memories have resulted in a paradigm shift with Solid State Drives (SSDs) replacing Hard Disk Drives (HDDs) for high performance applications. RAID and Flash have resulted in the emergence of new storage companies, namely EMC, NetApp, SanDisk, and Purestorage, and a multibillion-dollar storage market. Key new conferences and publications are reviewed in this book.The goal of the book is to expose students, researchers, and IT professionals to the more important developments in storage systems, while covering the evolution of storage technologies, traditional and novel databases, and novel sources of data. We describe several prototypes: FAWN at CMU, RAMCloud at Stanford, and Lightstore at MIT; Oracle's Exadata, AWS' Aurora, Alibaba's PolarDB, Fungible Data Center; and author's paper designs for cloud storage, namely heterogeneous disk arrays and hierarchical RAID. - Surveys storage technologies and lists sources of data: measurements, text, audio, images, and video - Familiarizes with paradigms to improve performance: caching, prefetching, log-structured file systems, and merge-trees (LSMs) - Describes RAID organizations and analyzes their performance and reliability - Conserves storage via data compression, deduplication, compaction, and secures data via encryption - Specifies implications of storage technologies on performance and power consumption - Exemplifies database parallelism for big data, analytics, deep learning via multicore CPUs, GPUs, FPGAs, and ASICs, e.g., Google's Tensor Processing Units
Download or read book Job Scheduling Strategies for Parallel Processing written by Dror G. Feitelson and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 1996-10-16 with total page 306 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book constitutes the strictly refereed post-workshop proceedings of the International Workshop on Job Scheduling Strategies for Parallel Processing, held in conjunction with IPPS '96 symposium in Honolulu, Hawaii, in April 1996. The book presents 15 thoroughly revised full papers accepted for inclusion on the basis of the reports of at least five program committee members. The volume is a highly competent contribution to advancing the state-of-the-art in the area of job scheduling for parallel supercomputers. Among the topics addressed are job scheduler, workload evolution, gang scheduling, multiprocessor scheduling, parallel processor allocation, and distributed memory environments.

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 Measuring Modelling and Evaluating Computer Systems written by Heinz Beilner and published by North-Holland. This book was released on 1977 with total page 496 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Until rather recently, the unsatisfactory approach of first building computers and then measuring their performance was prevalent due to the lack of reliable methods and tools to predict all but the largest performance characteristics. Standardisation of simulation modelling and significant progress in the field of analytical modelling have improved drastically, but performance prediction and forecasting via system models are only as realistic as the description of system load presented to the models. This volume includes all papers accepted for presentation at the Third International Symposium sponsored by IRIA-LABORIA, IFIP Working Group 7.3, the Commission of the European Communities, Joint Research Centre, ISPRA Establishment and organised by Gesellschaft für Mathematik und Datenverarbeitung, Bonn-Bad Godesberg, Western Germany, October 3-5, 1977.

Download or read book Computer performance measurement and evaluation methods analysis and applications written by Liba Svobodova and published by . This book was released on 1974 with total page 200 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study concentrates on the measurement problem of a complex computer system. Several issues are attacked: system representation, evaluation and application of computer performance evaluation tools, power of a performance monitor, design of a performance monitor. For an external observer, performance of a computer system is the quality and the quantity of service delivered by the system. However, a computer system is a hierarchy of several levels, the lowest level being the circuit level, the highest the Software Support level. Performance of the system as a whole is determined by performance of individual levels. A conceptual model of an evaluated computer system, the P-model, is defined in this study using the principles of general systems theory; it provides a convenient uniform description for observing a computer system at any of these levels. The elements of the P-model are the level components; the output are performance measures relevant to the particular level and the purpose of evaluation.
