Quantum Computing for Computer Architects (Synthesis Lectures on Computer Architecture)

Morgan Kaufmann, 2006

Quantum computationmay seem to be a topic for science fiction, but small quantum computers have existed for several years and larger machines are on the drawing table. These efforts have been fueled by a tantalizing property: while conventional computers employ a binary representation that allows computational power to scale linearly with resources...

Engineering a Compiler

Morgan Kaufmann, 2003

The proliferation of processors, environments, and constraints on systems has cast compiler technology into a wider variety of settings, changing the compiler and compiler writer's role. No longer is execution speed the sole criterion for judging compiled code. Today, code might be judged on how small it is, how much power it consumes, how well it...

Fault-Tolerant Systems

Morgan Kaufmann, 2007

There are many applications in which the reliability of the overall system must be far higher than the reliability of its individual components. In such cases, designers devise mechanisms and architectures that allow the system to either completely mask the effects of a component failure or recover from it so quickly that the application is not...

Programming Cameras and Pan-Tilts: with DirectX and Java

Morgan Kaufmann, 2002

The rapid rise of PC-based cameras has lead to the enormous growth of software applications that use real-time video programming.

Previously, developers had to search through manufacturer...

Optimizing Compilers for Modern Architectures: A Dependence-based Approach

Morgan Kaufmann, 2001

Modern computer architectures designed with high-performance microprocessors offer tremendous potential gains in performance over previous designs. Yet their very complexity makes it increasingly difficult to produce efficient code and to realize their full potential. This landmark text from two leaders in the field focuses on the pivotal role...
