Multicore Technology: Architecture, Reconfiguration, and Modeling (Hardcover)

The saturation of design complexity and clock frequencies for single-core processors has resulted in the emergence of multicore architectures as an alternative design paradigm. Nowadays, multicore/multithreaded computing systems are not only a de-facto standard for high-end applications, they are also gaining popularity in the field of embedded computing.

The start of the multicore era has altered the concepts relating to almost all of the areas of computer architecture design, including core design, memory management, thread scheduling, application support, inter-processor communication, debugging, and power management. This book gives readers a holistic overview of the field and guides them to further avenues of research by covering the state of the art in this area. It includes contributions from industry as well as academia.

設計複雜度和時脈頻率對於單核心處理器的飽和，導致多核心架構成為另一種設計範式的出現。如今，多核心/多線程計算系統不僅是高端應用的事實標準，也在嵌入式計算領域中越來越受歡迎。

多核心時代的開始改變了與計算機架構設計幾乎所有領域相關的概念，包括核心設計、記憶體管理、線程調度、應用支援、處理器間通信、調試和功耗管理。本書為讀者提供了對該領域的整體概述，並通過介紹該領域的最新技術指引他們進一步的研究方向。書中包含了來自工業界和學術界的貢獻。
