"The Art of Multiprocessor Programming"
eBook Name: The Art of Multiprocessor Programming
eBook Type: Software Engineer
Software Engineer, Software Development, Software Process, CMM, CMMi
This book is the first comprehensive presentation of the principles and tools available for programming multiprocessor
machines.
It is of immediate use to programmers working with the new architectures.
For example, the next generation of
computer game consoles will all be multiprocessor-based, and the game industry is currently struggling to understand how to address the programming challenges presented
by these machines.
This change in the industry is so fundamental that it is certain to require a significant response by universities, and courses on
multicore programming will become a staple of computer science curriculums.
The authors are well known and respected in this community and both
teach and conduct research in this area. Prof. Maurice Herlihy is on the faculty of Brown University.
He is the recipient of the 2003 Dijkstra Prize in
distributed computing.
Prof. Nir Shavit is on the faculty of Tel-Aviv University and a member of the technical staff at Sun Microsystems Laboratories. In
2004 they shared the Gdel Prize, the highest award in theoretical computer science.
