Book Synopsis Concurrent Crash-Prone Shared Memory Systems by : Michel Raynal
Download or read book Concurrent Crash-Prone Shared Memory Systems written by Michel Raynal and published by Morgan & Claypool Publishers. This book was released on 2022-03-22 with total page 139 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Theory is what remains true when technology is changing. So, it is important to know and master the basic concepts and the theoretical tools that underlie the design of the systems we are using today and the systems we will use tomorrow. This means that, given a computing model, we need to know what can be done and what cannot be done in that model. Considering systems built on top of an asynchronous read/write shared memory prone to process crashes, this monograph presents and develops the fundamental notions that are universal constructions, consensus numbers, distributed recursivity, power of the BG simulation, and what can be done when one has to cope with process anonymity and/or memory anonymity. Numerous distributed algorithms are presented, the aim of which is being to help the reader better understand the power and the subtleties of the notions that are presented. In addition, the reader can appreciate the simplicity and beauty of some of these algorithms.
Book Synopsis The French School of Programming by : Bertrand Meyer
Download or read book The French School of Programming written by Bertrand Meyer and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2023 with total page 451 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Zusammenfassung: The French School of Programming is a collection of insightful discussions of programming and software engineering topics, by some of the most prestigious names of French computer science. The authors include several of the originators of such widely acclaimed inventions as abstract interpretation, the Caml, OCaml and Eiffel programming languages, the Coq proof assistant, agents and modern testing techniques. The book is divided into four parts: Software Engineering (A), Programming Language Mechanisms and Type Systems (B), Theory (C), and Language Design and Programming Methodology (D). They are preceded by a Foreword by Bertrand Meyer, the editor of the volume, a Preface by Jim Woodcock providing an outsider's appraisal of the French school's contribution, and an overview chapter by Gérard Berry, recalling his own intellectual journey. Chapter 2, by Marie-Claude Gaudel, presents a 30-year perspective on the evolution of testing starting with her own seminal work. In chapter 3, Michel Raynal covers distributed computing with an emphasis on simplicity. Chapter 4, by Jean-Marc Jézéquel, former director of IRISA, presents the evolution of modeling, from CASE tools to SLE and Machine Learning. Chapter 5, by Joëlle Coutaz, is a comprehensive review of the evolution of Human-Computer Interaction. In part B, chapter 6, by Jean-Pierre Briot, describes the sequence of abstractions that led to the concept of agent. Chapter 7, by Pierre-Louis Curien, is a personal account of a journey through fundamental concepts of semantics, syntax and types. In chapter 8, Thierry Coquand presents "some remarks on dependent type theory". Part C begins with Patrick Cousot's personal historical perspective on his well-known creation, abstract interpretation, in chapter 9. Chapter 10, by Jean-Jacques Lévy, is devoted to tracking redexes in the Lambda Calculus. The final chapter of that part, chapter 11 by Jean-Pierre Jouannaud, presents advances in rewriting systems, specifically the confluence of terminating rewriting computations. Part D contains two longer contributions. Chapter 12 is a review by Giuseppe Castagna of a broad range of programming topics relying on union, intersection and negation types. In the final chapter, Bertrand Meyer covers "ten choices in language design" for object-oriented programming, distinguishing between "right" and "wrong" resolutions of these issues and explaining the rationale behind Eiffel's decisions. This book will be of special interest to anyone with an interest in modern views of programming -- on such topics as programming language design, the relationship between programming and type theory, object-oriented principles, distributed systems, testing techniques, rewriting systems, human-computer interaction, software verification... -- and in the insights of a brilliant group of innovators in the field

Download or read book Shared-Memory Synchronization written by Michael L. Scott and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2022-05-31 with total page 206 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From driving, flying, and swimming, to digging for unknown objects in space exploration, autonomous robots take on varied shapes and sizes. In part, autonomous robots are designed to perform tasks that are too dirty, dull, or dangerous for humans. With nontrivial autonomy and volition, they may soon claim their own place in human society. These robots will be our allies as we strive for understanding our natural and man-made environments and build positive synergies around us. Although we may never perfect replication of biological capabilities in robots, we must harness the inevitable emergence of robots that synchronizes with our own capacities to live, learn, and grow. This book is a snapshot of motivations and methodologies for our collective attempts to transform our lives and enable us to cohabit with robots that work with and for us. It reviews and guides the reader to seminal and continual developments that are the foundations for successful paradigms. It attempts to demystify the abilities and limitations of robots. It is a progress report on the continuing work that will fuel future endeavors.

Book Synopsis Principles of Transactional Memory by : Rachid Guerraoui
Download or read book Principles of Transactional Memory written by Rachid Guerraoui and published by Morgan & Claypool Publishers. This book was released on 2010 with total page 194 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Transactional memory (TM) is an appealing paradigm for concurrent programming on shared memory architectures. With a TM, threads of an application communicate, and synchronize their actions, via in-memory transactions. Transactions are atomic: programmers get the illusion that every transaction executes all its operations instantaneously, at some single and unique point in time. The aim of this book is to provide theoretical foundations for transactional memory.

Book Synopsis Shared-Memory Synchronization by : Michael Lee Scott
Download or read book Shared-Memory Synchronization written by Michael Lee Scott and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2024 with total page 252 pages. 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

Moreover, his wider interests are reflected and so the collection comprises papers on software engineering, storage fragmentation, computer architecture, programming languages and dependability. There is even a paper that echoes Randell’s love of maps. After an early career with English Electric and then with IBM in New York and California, Brian Randell joined Newcastle University. His main research has been on dependable computing in all its forms, especially reliability, safety and security aspects, and he has led several major European collaborative projects.
Book Synopsis Distributed Algorithms for Message-Passing Systems by : Michel Raynal
Download or read book Distributed Algorithms for Message-Passing Systems written by Michel Raynal and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2013-06-29 with total page 518 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Distributed computing is at the heart of many applications. It arises as soon as one has to solve a problem in terms of entities -- such as processes, peers, processors, nodes, or agents -- that individually have only a partial knowledge of the many input parameters associated with the problem. In particular each entity cooperating towards the common goal cannot have an instantaneous knowledge of the current state of the other entities. Whereas parallel computing is mainly concerned with 'efficiency', and real-time computing is mainly concerned with 'on-time computing', distributed computing is mainly concerned with 'mastering uncertainty' created by issues such as the multiplicity of control flows, asynchronous communication, unstable behaviors, mobility, and dynamicity. While some distributed algorithms consist of a few lines only, their behavior can be difficult to understand and their properties hard to state and prove. The aim of this book is to present in a comprehensive way the basic notions, concepts, and algorithms of distributed computing when the distributed entities cooperate by sending and receiving messages on top of an asynchronous network. The book is composed of seventeen chapters structured into six parts: distributed graph algorithms, in particular what makes them different from sequential or parallel algorithms; logical time and global states, the core of the book; mutual exclusion and resource allocation; high-level communication abstractions; distributed detection of properties; and distributed shared memory. The author establishes clear objectives per chapter and the content is supported throughout with illustrative examples, summaries, exercises, and annotated bibliographies. This book constitutes an introduction to distributed computing and is suitable for advanced undergraduate students or graduate students in computer science and computer engineering, graduate students in mathematics interested in distributed computing, and practitioners and engineers involved in the design and implementation of distributed applications. The reader should have a basic knowledge of algorithms and operating systems.

Book Synopsis Synchronization and Fault Tolerance Techniques in Concurrent Shared Memory Systems by : Sahil Dhoked
Download or read book Synchronization and Fault Tolerance Techniques in Concurrent Shared Memory Systems written by Sahil Dhoked and published by . This book was released on 2022 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Mutual exclusion is one of the most commonly used techniques to handle contention in concurrent systems. Traditionally, mutual exclusion algorithms have been designed under the assumption that a process does not fail while acquiring/releasing a lock or while executing its critical section. However, failures do occur in real life, potentially leaving the lock in an inconsistent state. This gives rise to the problem of recoverable mutual exclusion (RME) that involves designing a mutual exclusion (ME) algorithm that can tolerate failures, while maintaining safety and liveness properties. With the recent development of NVRAM (non-volatile random-access memory) technologies, there is renewed interest in the RME problem. The NVRAM technology is a combination of the low latency of traditional random-access memory with the high persistence of disk storage media. NVRAMs can be used to provide near-instantaneous recovery to many problems including the RME problem. This work describes techniques for designing efficient algorithms to solve the RME problem under two different failure models, independent failure model and system-wide failure model, depending on whether processes fail independently or simultaneously. Additionally, especially for systems with low memory capacity, this work describes fault-tolerant techniques for reclaiming memory, in case there is no built-in support for garbage collection. The primary measure of an RME algorithm is its performance. Performance of any ME algorithm, including an RME algorithm, is measured by the number of remote memory references (RMRs) made by a process—for acquiring and releasing a lock as well as recovering the lock structure after a failure. Loosely speaking, it represents the number of expensive shared memory instructions. In this work, two models of RMR computation are considered: (a) the CC model, and (b) the DSM model. The results mentioned in this work are applicable to both of these computation models. For the independent failure model, this work presents a framework that transforms any algorithm that solves the RME problem into an algorithm whose performance (in terms of RMRs) can simultaneously adapt to (a) the number of processes competing for the lock, as well as (b) the number of failures that have occurred in the recent past, while maintaining the correctness and performance properties of the underlying RME algorithm. Assume that, for n processes, the RMR complexity of the underlying RME algorithm is R(n). Then, this framework yields an RME algorithm for which the RMR complexity is given by O(min{c, ̈ √ F + 1, R(n)}), where ̈c denotes the point contention (number of active processes) and F denotes the number of failures in the recent past. The system-wide failure model is a special case of the independent failure model that assumes that failures only occur simultaneously. For example, a power outage is a real life example of such a failure. This model makes a stronger assumption than just multiple independent failures. This assumption is leveraged with enhanced RME algorithms presented under this model. For the system-wide failure model, this work presents optimal RME algorithms (and related transformations) whose worst-case performance yield a O(1) RMR complexity. The fault-tolerant memory reclamation algorithm provides novel techniques to bound the worst-case space complexity of RME algorithms. The techniques used are general enough that they may also be employed to bound the space complexity of other RME algorithms. Its RMR complexity is merely an additive factor of O(1).
