Informationen zum Autor Eugene John, Juan Rubio Klappentext The demands of emerging software applications can be met only with unique chips and systems. This book addresses several systems and chips that provide new approaches to designing future computing and communication systems. The text presents the TRIPS processor architecture and microarchitecture! the CELL processor from IBM STI! and the continuation based Fuce multi-threading processor. Extended analog computers; Ravenscar! hardware-implemented run-time kernel with delay queues; formal state models and their simulations; and example graphics applications that require enormous computing power are also included to complete the comprehensive coverage in this book.
