  Fast asymmetric thread synchronization
Cleary J., Callanan O., Purcell M., Gregg D. ACM Transactions on Architecture and Code Optimization 9(4): 1-22, 2013.  Type: Article

The critical section problem involves code that accesses shared resources in a parallel computing environment. Managing such access is a difficult issue. Any solution to the critical section problem must consider both cooperation and c...

  Interconnect technology and design for gigascale integration
Davis J., Meindl J., Davis J., Kluwer Academic Publishers, Norwell, MA, 2003.  Type: Book (9781402076060)

The process of the designing and fabricating computer chips is going through constant revolution. Chips are increasing their number of transistors, while decreasing in size, increasing in speed, and reducing their power requirements. T...

  An evaluation of speculative instruction execution on simultaneous multithreaded processors
Swanson S., McDowell L., Swift M., Eggers S., Levy H. ACM Transactions on Computer Systems 21(3): 314-340, 2003.  Type: Article

Two techniques to increase the resource utilization factor in the face of branching latency have received significant attention: the speculative execution of instructions, brought about by predicting the outcome of a branch instruction...

  Group communication specifications: a comprehensive study
Chockler G., Keidar I., Vitenberg R. ACM Computing Surveys 33(4): 427-469, 2001.  Type: Article

Distributed systems involving communication among groups of non-adversarial processes have recently received much interest. Two of the most important aspects of such a system are group membership services (because the membership is dy...

  Specifying and using a partitionable group communication service
Fekete A., Lynch N., Shvartsman A. ACM Transactions on Computer Systems 19(2): 171-216, 2001.  Type: Article

A group communication service is a building block for development of practical distributed systems where processes located at different nodes of the system operate collectively as a group using a communication service to multicast mes...

  Concurrent Detection of Software and Hardware Data-Access Faults
Wilken K., Kong T. IEEE Transactions on Computers 46(4): 412-424, 1997.  Type: Article

Software and hardware data access faults are usually detected by monitoring the reference signature. Software data access faults include overlay faults and faults in the address stack or pointers, and hardware faults include register f...

  The complexity of simple computer architectures
Müller S., Paul W. (ed), Springer-Verlag New York, Inc., Secaucus, NJ, 1995.  Type: Book (9783540605805)

The authors develop a formal model that enables designers to evaluate cost (component cost) and cycle time of a simple computer, which in turn can shed light on the cost-effectiveness of a design. They were motivated by the lack of a f...

  SCO OpenServer
Russel C., Gaus L., Prentice-Hall, Inc., Upper Saddle River, NJ, 1997.  Type: Book (9780134594217)

A system administrator’s job is by no means easy or simple--particularly in a heterogeneous client/server environment. The job involves setting up and managing networking, user accounts, mail, a wide variety of perip...

  Inside the PowerPC revolution
Duntemann J. (ed), Pronk R., Coriolis Group Books, Scottsdale, AZ, 1994.  Type: Book (9781883577049)

Over the last 20 years, since the first appearance of the Apple II, the personal computer industry has gone through dramatic changes that could be called a “PC revolution.” The revolution took place in all areas&...

  The Alpha demonstration unit
Thacker C., Conroy D., Stewart L. Communications of the ACM 36(2): 55-67, 1993.  Type: Article

The successful design and timely marketing of a new computer rest critically on a multitude of factors--the ability to develop software for the system, the testing and debugging of both the hardware and the software, and, in ...
