Reconfigurable Massively Parallel Computers
by Hungwen Li and Quentin F. Stout
This book examines computer architecture, computability theory, and the history of computers from the perspective of minimalist computing - a framework in which the instruction set consists of a single instruction. This approach is different than that taken in any other computer architecture text, and it is a bold step. The audience for this book is researchers, computer hardware engineers, software engineers, and systems engineers who are looking for a fresh, unique perspective on computer arch...

Proceedings of the IEEE Workshop on Real-Time Applications
by IEEE Workshop on Real-Time Applications.
This book aims at being a comprehensive and pedagogical introduction to the concept of self-stabilization, introduced by Edsger Wybe Dijkstra in 1973.Self-stabilization characterizes the ability of a distributed algorithm to converge within finite time to a configuration from which its behavior is correct (i.e., satisfies a given specification), regardless the arbitrary initial configuration of the system. This arbitrary initial configuration may be the result of the occurrence of a finite numbe...

Communicating Process Architectures 2002 (Concurrent Systems Engineering, v. 60)
The WoTUG series of conferences are a major forum for the presentation of state-of-the-art ideas on concurrency and communication. This book continues this trend, with these proceedings containing a number of papers that discuss a wide range of issues fundamental to the future of concurrency. This book combines papers from researchers and practitioners from many disciplines. Topics covered include: theory, such as development to Hoare's Communicating Sequential Processes; hardware and real-time...
Transputer and Occam Developments (Transputer & Occam Engineering, Vol 44)
This volume contains papers presented at the 18th meeting of the World Occam and Transputer User Group (Wotug). The papers cover a wide range of transputer and OCCAM-related topics, such as the the porting and development of the OCCAM language (highlighting the need for cross platform implementations of OCCAM compilers), design approaches and applications.

This book constitutes thoroughly refereed post-conference proceedings of the workshops of the 17th International Conference on Parallel Computing, Euro-Par 2011, held in Bordeaux, France, in August 2011. The papers of these 12 workshops CCPI, CGWS, HeteroPar, HiBB, HPCVirt, HPPC, HPSS HPCF, PROPER, CCPI, and VHPC focus on promotion and advancement of all aspects of parallel and distributed computing.
High Performance Computing for Computer Graphics and Visualisation
This book contains mainly a selection of papers that were presented at the International Workshop on High Performance Computing/or Computer Graphics and Visualisation, held in Swansea, United Kingdom on 3-4 July 1995. The workshop was sponsored by the HEFCWI Initiative on ·Parallel Computing - Foundations and Applications·, and it has provided the international computer graphics community with a platform for: • assessing and reviewing the impact of the development of high performance computing o...
Distributed Tracing in Practice
by Austin Parker, Daniel Spoonhower, Jonathan Mace, Ben Sigelman, and Rebecca Isaacs
Most applications today are distributed in some fashion. Monitoring the health and performance of these distributed architectures requires a new approach. Enter distributed tracing, a method of profiling and monitoring applications-especially those that use microservice architectures. There's just one problem: distributed tracing can be hard. But it doesn't have to be. With this practical guide, you'll learn what distributed tracing is and how to use it to understand the performance and operat...

Specification and Proof in Real Time CSP (Distinguished Dissertations in Computer Science)
by Jim Davies
This book was first published in 1993. Computing systems are becoming highly complex, harder to understand, and therefore more prone to failure. Where such systems control aircraft for example, system failure could have disastrous consequences. It is important therefore that we are able to employ mathematical techniques to specify the behaviour or safety critical systems. This thesis uses the theory of Communicating Sequential Processes (CSP) to show how a real-lime system may be specified. Incl...
Parallel Evolution of Parallel Processors (Evaluation in Education and Human Services)
by G. Lerman and L. Rudolph
Study the past, if you would divine the future. -CONFUCIUS A well written, organized, and concise survey is an important tool in any newly emerging field of study. This present text is the first of a new series that has been established to promote the publications of such survey books. A survey serves several needs. Virtually every new research area has its roots in several diverse areas and many of the initial fundamental results are dispersed across a wide range of journals, books, and confere...
