Book SynopsisThis book focuses on the core question of the necessary architectural support provided by hardware to efficiently run virtual machines, and of the corresponding design of the hypervisors that run them. Virtualization is still possible when the instruction set architecture lacks such support, but the hypervisor remains more complex and must rely on additional techniques.Despite the focus on architectural support in current architectures, some historical perspective is necessary to appropriately frame the problem. The first half of the book provides the historical perspective of the theoretical framework developed four decades ago by Popek and Goldberg. It also describes earlier systems that enabled virtualization despite the lack of architectural support in hardware.As is often the case, theory defines a necessary—but not sufficient—set of features, and modern architectures are the result of the combination of the theoretical framework with insights derived from practical systems. The second half of the book describes state-of-the-art support for virtualization in both x86-64 and ARM processors. This book includes an in-depth description of the CPU, memory, and I/O virtualization of these two processor architectures, as well as case studies on the Linux/KVM, VMware, and Xen hypervisors. It concludes with a performance comparison of virtualization on current-generation x86- and ARM-based systems across multiple hypervisors.Table of ContentsPreface.- Acknowledgments.- Definitions.- The Popek/Goldberg Theorem.- Virtualization without Architectural Support.- x86-64: CPU Virtualization with VT-x.- x86-64: MMU Virtualization with Extended Page Tables.- x86-64: I/O Virtualization.- Virtualization Support in ARM Processors.- Comparing ARM and x86 Virtualization Performance.- Bibliography.- Authors' Biographies.- Index .

Book SynopsisOriginally developed to support video games, graphics processor units (GPUs) are now increasingly used for general-purpose (non-graphics) applications ranging from machine learning to mining of cryptographic currencies. GPUs can achieve improved performance and efficiency versus central processing units (CPUs) by dedicating a larger fraction of hardware resources to computation. In addition, their general-purpose programmability makes contemporary GPUs appealing to software developers in comparison to domain-specific accelerators. This book provides an introduction to those interested in studying the architecture of GPUs that support general-purpose computing. It collects together information currently only found among a wide range of disparate sources. The authors led development of the GPGPU-Sim simulator widely used in academic research on GPU architectures. The first chapter of this book describes the basic hardware structure of GPUs and provides a brief overview of their history. Chapter 2 provides a summary of GPU programming models relevant to the rest of the book. Chapter 3 explores the architecture of GPU compute cores. Chapter 4 explores the architecture of the GPU memory system. After describing the architecture of existing systems, Chapters 3 and 4 provide an overview of related research. Chapter 5 summarizes cross-cutting research impacting both the compute core and memory system. This book should provide a valuable resource for those wishing to understand the architecture of graphics processor units (GPUs) used for acceleration of general-purpose applications and to those who want to obtain an introduction to the rapidly growing body of research exploring how to improve the architecture of these GPUs.Table of ContentsPreface.- Acknowledgments.- Introduction.- Programming Model.- The SIMT Core: Instruction and Register Data Flow.- Memory System.- Crosscutting Research on GPU Computing Architectures.- Bibliography.- Authors' Biographies.

Book SynopsisFrequency-Domain Receiver Design for Doubly-Selective Channels discusses broadband wireless transmission techniques, which are serious candidates to be implemented in future broadband wireless and cellular systems, aiming at providing high and reliable data transmission and concomitantly high mobility. This book provides an overview of the channel impairments that may affect performance of single carrier and multi-carrier block transmission techniques in mobile environments. Moreover, it also provides a new insight into the new receiver designs able to cope with double selectivity that affects present and future broadband high speed mobile communication systems. Trade Review"The book presents a strong analytical rigor and very interesting solutions to some of the most important challenges that wireless communication engineers face. All the analytical derivations and innovative results are well supported by a large set of figures which turns the book a very useful tool. It also presents an important revision of existing techniques, which clearly enrich its quality."— João Guerreiro, Instituto de Telecomunicações, Lisbon, Portugal"The book covers a timely and important topic for current and future wireless communication systems." — Imad Barhumi, United Arab Emirates University, Al Ain, Abu Dhabi"Advanced receiver designs for frequency selective channels was, from the beginning, a disruptive idea which opened horizons to up-until-then unimaginable data rates and system capacities in wireless systems. This book offers a fresh look at receiver designs, and looks at its combination with SC-FDE and OFDM, and the impact at the system-level. Receiver designs remains a pillar of high-speed systems beyond 4G which incorporate massive MIMO and network coding at the physical layer."—Mário Marques da Silva, Universidade Autónoma de Lisboa, Portugal"There are not many books addressing the treatment of Doubly Selective Channels, and none devoted especially to the design of frequency domain receivers….this book appears to treat both block based single carrier and multicarrier communications, comparing them both in detail, on the contrary of most books devoted to multicarrier, with special emphasis on OFDM, although the growing importance of SC-FDE for uplink transmissions. This book seems to fill this void, providing a current view on the state-of-the-art." — Marco Alexandre Cravo Gomes, University of Coimbra, Portugal"This book addresses the state of the art in OFDM and SC-FDE bock transmission schemes. It includes an easy to read overview accompanied by a formal definition of the block transmission schemes and channels models. The most interesting parts cover advanced analytical tools for channel estimation and receiver design for asynchronous networks and for multipath channels with strong Doppler effects. Asynchronous access is envisioned in the transmission schemes for future 5G systems. On the other end, Doppler effects are gaining importance as higher carrier frequencies and broader bands are used. Given the tutorial presentation, these physical layer models can be quite helpful in the design and analysis of cross-layer optimized systems."—Luis Bernardo, Instituto de Telecomunicações, Lisbon, Portugal"Frequency-Domain Receiver Design for Doubly Selective Channels summarizes extensive research work on wireless communication between OFDM and SC-FDE and suggests the optimum approach. In so doing, it might revolutionize wireless communication technology."—IEEE Microwave Magazine, July/August 2018Table of ContentsList of Abbreviations. List of Symbols. Introduction.

Book SynopsisThis book introduces different interconnection networks applied to different systems. Interconnection networks are used to communicate processing units in a multi-processor system, routers in communication networks, and servers in data centers. Queuing techniques are applied to interconnection networks to support a higher utilization of resources. There are different queuing strategies, and these determine not only the performance of the interconnection network, but also the set of requirements to make them work effectively and their cost. Routing algorithms are used to find routes to destinations and directions in what information travels. Additional properties, such as avoiding deadlocks and congestion, are sought. Effective routing algorithms need to be paired up with these networks. The book will introduce the most relevant interconnection networks, queuing strategies, and routing algorithm. It discusses their properties and how these leverage the performance of the whole iTrade Review"The organization of the book is very convenient. It is easy to read each part separately. Moving around the book is easy with a table of contents at the beginning of the book and separate tables of contents starting each chapter. In addition, every chapter ends with sample exercises. All parts of the book are richly illustrated with numerous figures. According to the saying that one image is worth a thousand words, drawings make it much easier for a reader to follow the discussion.The book ends with a very solid bibliography containing 191 positions.

Book SynopsisIn recent years, a lot of work has been done in an effort to incorporate Swarm Intelligence (SI) techniques in building an adaptive routing protocol for Mobile Ad Hoc Networks (MANETs). Since centralized approach for routing in MANETs generally lacks in scalability and fault-tolerance, SI techniques provide a natural solution through a distributed approach for the adaptive routing for MANETs. In SI techniques, the captivating features of insects or mammals are correlated with the real world problems to find solutions. Recently, several applications of bio-inspired and nature-inspired algorithms in telecommunications and computer networks have achieved remarkable success. The main aims/objectives of this book, Mobile Ad Hoc Networks: Bio-Inspired Quality of Service Aware Routing Protocols, are twofold; firstly it clearly distinguishes between principles of traditional routing protocols and SI based routing protocols, while explaining in detail the analogy between MANETs and SITable of ContentsIntroduction.
