Book Description

Publication Date: May 13, 1998

Addresses the major issues involved in computer design and architectures. Dealing primarily with theory, tools, and techniques as related to advanced computer systems, it provides tutorials and surveys and relates new important research results. Each chapter provides background information, describes and analyzes important work done in the field, and provides important direction to the reader on future work and further readings. The topics covered include hierarchical design schemes, parallel and distributed modeling and simulation, parallel simulation tools and techniques, theoretical models for formal and performance modeling, and performance evaluation techniques.

5.0 out of 5 stars Advanced Computer Performance Modeling and Simulation, October 2, 2010

Adrian Thompson - See all my reviews

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)

This review is from: Advanced Computer Performance Modeling and Simulation (Hardcover)

Excellent book with 337 pages of brain candy.
In the book modelling is actually spelt modelling, it's probably an American word for modelling! (I'm English)
1. Hierarchical Architecture Simulation Environment
2. Modelling Multiprocessor Architectures
3. Instrumentation Systems for Parallel Tools
4. A Methodology for Performance Modelling of Distributed Cache-Coherent Multiprocessors
5. Tracing Nondeterministic Programs on Shared Memory Multiprocessors.
6. Memory management and speedup Issues in Parallel Simulation
7. Load Balancing Strategies for Parallel Simulation on a Multiprocessor Machine
8. An Object-Orientated Environment for Parallel Discrete-Event Simulation
9. Stochastic Petri-nets: Introduction and Applications to the Modelling of Computer and Communications Systems
10. Stochastic Process Algebras: A New Approach to Performance Modelling
11. Performance Evaluation Using Micro-Benchmarking and Machine Analysis
12. Evaluation and Design of Benchmark Suites

Book has been wrote in a multiple published paper style. Each paper has excellent references, I've only read a few so far and they are of a high standard. Well worth the money and delivery to the UK took less than a week.
