Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Zusammenfassung: This book offers a comprehensive survey of shared-memory synchronization, with an emphasis on "systems-level" issues. It includes sufficient coverage of architectural details to understand correctness and performance on modern multicore machines, and sufficient coverage of higher-level issues to understand how synchronization is embedded in modern programming languages. The primary intended audience for this book is "systems programmers"--the authors of operating systems, library packages, language run-time systems, concurrent data structures, and server and utility programs. Much of the discussion should also be of interest to application programmers who want to make good use of the synchronization mechanisms available to them, and to computer architects who want to understand the ramifications of their design decisions on systems-level code

This book was released on 2018-02-07 with total page 38 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Efficient Synchronization on Multiprocessors With Shared Memory A new formalism is given for read-modify-write (rmw) synchronization opera tions. This formalism is used to extend the memory reference combining mechan ism, introduced in the nyu Ultracomputer, to arbitrary rmw operations. A for mal correctness proof of this combining mechanism is given. General requirements for the practicality of combining are discussed. Combining is shown to be practical for many useful memory access Operations. This includes memory updates of the form mem_val mem_val op val, where op need not be associative, and a variety of synchronization primitives. The computation involved is shown to be closely re lated to parallel prefix evaluation. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book Replacing Locks by Higher level Primitives written by Rice University. Dept. of Computer Science and published by . This book was released on 1994 with total page 17 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Abstract: "Locks are used in shared memory parallel programs to achieve a variety of synchronization objectives. They may provide mutual exclusion for a critical section, or they may provide synchronized access to a task queue. In the former case, no ordering is implied between data operations outside of the critical sections, while in the latter case the operations preceeding the enqueue of a task are ordered before the operations following a dequeue of that task. In this paper we argue that many uses of locks can be replaced by higher-level primitives that directly express the intended behavior, such as, for example, enqueue and dequeue operations on a task queue. This approach not only simplifies the programming model, but also allows a more efficient implementation. By making the intended use explicit, we can tailor the implementation of each primitive accordingly, thereby achieving reductions in latency and communication overhead. Synchronization latency has been shown to be one of the major impediments for achieving high performance, especially on software distributed shared memory systems. We demonstrate the benefits of our approach by comparing the performance on the TreadMarks distributed shared memory system of lock-based implementations of four applications (TSP, Quicksort, Water, and ILINK) to new implementations using the higher- level primitives. For each of the four applications, the high-level primitives lead to simpler programs with better performance."

Download or read book Synchronization Via Scheduling written by Shane Joseph Mottishaw and published by . This book was released on 2011 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The recent shift to multi-core computing has meant more programmers are required to write parallel programs. This is a daunting task even for experienced programmers due to the complexity and challenges involved in parallel programming. Key among these issues is managing concurrent accesses to shared memory. Unfortunately, most existing approaches rely on synchronization primitives that leave the complexity of protecting shared memory to the programmer and those that have attempted to automatically protect shared memory have achieved limited success. To address the issue of shared memory management while mitigating the limitations of existing approaches, we introduce a new technique called Synchronization via Scheduling (SvS). SvS provides efficient and automatic protection of shared memory by combining static and dynamic analysis to determine the set of possible memory accesses a block of code makes before it is executed and schedules these blocks such that no two blocks concurrently access the same memory.
Download or read book Programming Multicore and Many core Computing Systems written by Sabri Pllana and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2017-02-06 with total page 511 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Programming multi-core and many-core computing systems Sabri Pllana, Linnaeus University, Sweden Fatos Xhafa, Technical University of Catalonia, Spain Provides state-of-the-art methods for programming multi-core and many-core systems The book comprises a selection of twenty two chapters covering: fundamental techniques and algorithms; programming approaches; methodologies and frameworks; scheduling and management; testing and evaluation methodologies; and case studies for programming multi-core and many-core systems. Program development for multi-core processors, especially for heterogeneous multi-core processors, is significantly more complex than for single-core processors. However, programmers have been traditionally trained for the development of sequential programs, and only a small percentage of them have experience with parallel programming. In the past, only a relatively small group of programmers interested in High Performance Computing (HPC) was concerned with the parallel programming issues, but the situation has changed dramatically with the appearance of multi-core processors on commonly used computing systems. It is expected that with the pervasiveness of multi-core processors, parallel programming will become mainstream. The pervasiveness of multi-core processors affects a large spectrum of systems, from embedded and general-purpose, to high-end computing systems. This book assists programmers in mastering the efficient programming of multi-core systems, which is of paramount importance for the software-intensive industry towards a more effective product-development cycle. Key features: Lessons, challenges, and roadmaps ahead. Contains real world examples and case studies. Helps programmers in mastering the efficient programming of multi-core and many-core systems. The book serves as a reference for a larger audience of practitioners, young researchers and graduate level students. A basic level of programming knowledge is required to use this book.
