Performance Analysis and Tuning for General Purpose Graphics Processing Units (GPGPU)
General-purpose graphics processing units (GPGPU) have emerged as an important class of shared memory parallel processing architectures, with widespread deployment in every computer class from high-end supercomputers to embedded mobile platforms. Relative to more traditional multicore systems of today, GPGPUs have distinctly higher degrees of hardware multithreading (hundreds of hardware thread contexts vs. tens), a return to wide vector units (several tens vs. 1-10), memory architectures that deliver higher peak memory bandwidth (hundreds of gigabytes per second vs. tens), and smaller caches/scratchpad memories (less than 1 megabyte vs. 1-10 megabytes). In this book, we provide a high-level...
Semantics, Applications, and Implementation of Program Generation
This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the International Workshop on Semantics Applications, and Implementation of Program Generation, SAIG 2000, held in Montreal, Canada in September 2000. The seven revised full papers and four position papers presented together with four invited abstracts were carefully reviewed and selected from 20 submissions. Among the topics addressed are multi-stage programming languages, compilation of domain-specific languages and module systems, program transformation, low-level program generation, formal specification, termination analysis, and type-based analysis.
Languages and Compilers for Parallel Computing

Since 1986, LCPC has became a valuable venueforresearchersto reportonworkinthegeneralareaofparallelcomputing, high-performance computer architecture and compilers. LCPC 2009 continued this tradition and in particular extended the area of interest to new parallel computing accelerators such as the IBM Cell Processor and Graphic Processing Unit (GPU). This year we received 52 submissions from 15 countries. Each submission receivedatleastthreereviewsandmosthadfour.ThePCalsosoughtadditional externalreviewsforcontentiou...
High Performance Computing and Communications
This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the Third International Conference on High Performance Computing and Communications, HPCC 2007, held in Houston, USA, September 26-28, 2007. The 75 revised full papers presented were carefully reviewed and selected from 272 submissions. The papers address all current issues of parallel and distributed systems and high performance computing and communication as there are: networking protocols, routing, and algorithms, languages and compilers for HPC, parallel and distributed architectures and algorithms, embedded systems, wireless, mobile and pervasive computing, Web services and internet computing, peer-to-peer computing, grid and cluster computing, reliability, fault-tolerance, and security, performance evaluation and measurement, tools and environments for software development, distributed systems and applications, database applications and data mining, biological/molecular computing, collaborative and cooperative environments, and programming interfaces for parallel systems.
FPGA-Accelerated Simulation of Computer Systems
To date, the most common form of simulators of computer systems are software-based running on standard computers. One promising approach to improve simulation performance is to apply hardware, specifically reconfigurable hardware in the form of field programmable gate arrays (FPGAs). This manuscript describes various approaches of using FPGAs to accelerate software-implemented simulation of computer systems and selected simulators that incorporate those techniques. More precisely, we describe a simulation architecture taxonomy that incorporates a simulation architecture specifically designed for FPGA accelerated simulation, survey the state-of-the-art in FPGA-accelerated simulation, and describe in detail selected instances of the described techniques.

High Performance Computing for Computational Science -- VECPAR 2010
This book constitutes the thoroughly refereed post-conference proceedings of the 9th International Conference on High Performance Computing for Computational Science, VECPAR 2010, held in Berkeley, CA, USA, in June 2010. The 34 revised full papers presented together with five invited contributions were carefully selected during two rounds of reviewing and revision. The papers are organized in topical sections on linear algebra and solvers on emerging architectures, large-scale simulations, parallel and distributed computing, numerical algorithms.
A Primer on Memory Consistency and Cache Coherence, Second Edition
Many modern computer systems, including homogeneous and heterogeneous architectures, support shared memory in hardware. In a shared memory system, each of the processor cores may read and write to a single shared address space. For a shared memory machine, the memory consistency model defines the architecturally visible behavior of its memory system. Consistency definitions provide rules about loads and stores (or memory reads and writes) and how they act upon memory. As part of supporting a memory consistency model, many machines also provide cache coherence protocols that ensure that multiple cached copies of data are kept up-to-date. The goal of this primer is to provide readers with a ba...
Security Basics for Computer Architects
Design for security is an essential aspect of the design of future computers. However, security is not well understood by the computer architecture community. Many important security aspects have evolved over the last several decades in the cryptography, operating systems, and networking communities. This book attempts to introduce the computer architecture student, researcher, or practitioner to the basic concepts of security and threat-based design. Past work in different security communities can inform our thinking and provide a rich set of technologies for building architectural support for security into all future computers and embedded computing devices and appliances. I have tried to keep the book short, which means that many interesting topics and applications could not be included. What the book focuses on are the fundamental security concepts, across different security communities, that should be understood by any computer architect trying to design or evaluate security-aware computer architectures.
Space-Time Computing with Temporal Neural Networks
Understanding and implementing the brain's computational paradigm is the one true grand challenge facing computer researchers. Not only are the brain's computational capabilities far beyond those of conventional computers, its energy efficiency is truly remarkable. This book, written from the perspective of a computer designer and targeted at computer researchers, is intended to give both background and lay out a course of action for studying the brain's computational paradigm. It contains a mix of concepts and ideas drawn from computational neuroscience, combined with those of the author. As background, relevant biological features are described in terms of their computational and communica...
