Book Synopsis Computer Architecture: A Minimalist Perspective by : William F. Gilreath
Download or read book Computer Architecture: A Minimalist Perspective written by William F. Gilreath and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 225 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 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 architecture. Upper division undergraduate students and early graduate students studying computer architecture, computer organization, or embedded systems will also find this book useful. A typical course title might be "Special Topics in Computer Architecture." The organization ofthe book is as follows. First, the reasons for studying such an "esoteric" subject are given. Then, the history and evolution of instruction sets is studied with an emphasis on how modern computing has features ofone instruction computing. Also, previous computer systems are reviewed to show how their features relate to one instruction computers. Next, the primary forms of one instruction set computing are examined. The theories of computation and of Turing machines are also reviewed to examine the theoretical nature of one instruction computers. Other processor architectures and instruction sets are then mapped into single instructions to illustrate the features of both types of one instruction computers. In doing so, the features of the processor being mapped are highlighted.
Book Synopsis Novel Optical Computer Architecture Utilizing Reconfigurable Interconnects by :
Download or read book Novel Optical Computer Architecture Utilizing Reconfigurable Interconnects written by and published by . This book was released on 1991 with total page 66 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This final report describes progress made by TIS Incorporated for the period 7/1/91 - 10/1/91 toward the development of novel optical computer architectures and supporting methods for exploiting free-space reconfigurable interconnects. Major findings include: (1) Reconfigurable interconnects can reconfigure slower than the bit rate and still improve performance as long as throughput is maintained after reconfiguration; (2) A fixed control sequence does not preclude the use of runtime conditionals, so that the performance of traditional general purpose computing can be improved; (3) A system that uses reconfigurable interconnects is likely to be larger than a functionally equivalent system that does not use reconfigurable interconnects; (4) A reconfigurable approach is most effective for a small active portion of a computer, and is not needed for an entire computer in order to appreciate a performance gain; (5) A reconfigurable interconnect technology can have a significant impact on interconnection networks used in parallel processors; (6) A fixed control sequence must have some level of repetition in order to be practical; and (7) The dataflow model of computing, which theoretically supports maximum parallelism but suffers performance sacrifices in electronic implementations, may be significantly improved since the architecture can be modified to suit the dataflow graph.
Book Synopsis Design of Optical WDM Networks by : Byrav Ramamurthy
Download or read book Design of Optical WDM Networks written by Byrav Ramamurthy and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 177 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Lo, soul! seest thou not God's purpose from the first? The earth to be spann'd, connected by net-work From Passage to India! Walt Whitman, "Leaves of Grass", 1900. The Internet is growing at a tremendous rate today. New services, such as telephony and multimedia, are being added to the pure data-delivery framework of yesterday. Such high demands on capacity could lead to a "bandwidth-crunch" at the core wide-area network resulting in degra dation of service quality. Fortunately, technological innovations have emerged which can provide relief to the end-user to overcome the In ternet's well-known delay and bandwidth limitations. At the physical layer, a major overhaul of existing networks has been envisaged from electronic media (such as twisted-pair and cable) to optical fibers - in the wide area, in the metropolitan area, and even in the local area set tings. In order to exploit the immense bandwidth potential of the optical fiber, interesting multiplexing techniques have been developed over the years. Wavelength division multiplexing (WDM) is such a promising tech nique in which multiple channels are operated along a single fiber si multaneously, each on a different wavelength. These channels can be independently modulated to accommodate dissimilar bit rates and data formats, if so desired. Thus, WDM carves up the huge bandwidth of an optical fiber into channels whose bandwidths (1-10 Gbps) are compati ble with peak electronic processing speed.
Book Synopsis Digital Optical Computers at the Optoelectronic Computing Systems Center by : Harry F. Jordan
Download or read book Digital Optical Computers at the Optoelectronic Computing Systems Center written by Harry F. Jordan and published by . This book was released on 1991 with total page 24 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Abstract: "The Digital Optical Computing Program within the National Science Foundation Engineering Research Center for Optoelectronic Computing Systems has as its specific goal research on optical computing architectures suitable for use at the highest possible speeds. The program can be targeted toward exploiting the time domain because other programs in the Center are pursuing research on parallel optical systems, exploiting optical interconnection and optical devices and materials. Using a general purpose computing architecture as the focus, we are developing design techniques, tools and architectures for operation at the speed of light limit. Experimental work is being done with the somewhat low speed components currently available but with architectures which will scale up in speed as faster devices are developed. The design algorithms and tools developed for a general purpose, stored program computer are being applied to other systems such as optically controlled optical communications networks."

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Despite the tremendous advances in performance enabled by modern architectures, there are always new applications and demands arising that require ever-increasing capabilities. Keeping up with these demands requires a deep-seated understanding of contemporary architectures in concert with a fundamental understanding of basic principles that allows one to anticipate what will be possible over the system's lifetime. Advanced Computer Architectures focuses on the design of high performance supercomputers with balanced coverage of the hardware, software structures, and application characteristics. This book is a timeless distillation of underlying principles punctuated by real-world implementations in popular current and past commercially available systems. It briefly reviews the basics of uniprocessor architecture before outlining the most popular processing paradigms, performance evaluation, and cost factor considerations. This builds to a discussion of pipeline design and vector processors, data parallel architectures, and multiprocessor systems. Rounding out the book, the final chapter explores some important current and emerging trends such as Dataflow, Grid, biology-inspired, and optical computing. More than 220 figures, tables, and equations illustrate the concepts presented. Based on the author's more than thirty years of teaching and research, Advanced Computer Architectures endows you with the tools necessary to reach the limits of existing technology, and ultimately, to break them.
