Computer performance often depends in complex way on the design parameters and intuition that must be supplemented by performance studies to enhance design productivity.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e This book introduces computer architects to computer system performance models and shows how they are relatively simple, inexpensive to implement, and sufficiently accurate for most purposes. It discusses the development of performance models based on queuing theory and probability. The text also shows how they are used to provide quick approximate calculations to indicate basic performance tradeoffs and narrow the range of parameters to consider when determining system configurations. It illustrates how performance models can demonstrate how a memory system is to be configured, what the cache structure should be, and what incremental changes in cache size can have on the miss rate. A particularly deep knowledge of probability theory or any other mathematical field to understand the papers in this volume is not required.\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003ePreface.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Computer Performance Evaluation Methodology.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e An Instruction Timing Model of CPU Performance.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e On Parallel Processing Systems: Amdahl's Law Generalized and Some Results on Optimal Design.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e The Nonuniform Distribution of Instruction-Level and Machine Parallelism and Its Effect on Performance.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Classification and Performance Evaluation of Instruction Buffering Techniques.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Characterization of Branch and Data Dependencies in Programs for Evaluating Pipeline Performance.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Optimal Pipelining.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Branch Strategies: Modeling and Optimization.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Footprints in the Cache.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e An Analytical Cache Model.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Modeling Live and Dead Lines in Cache Memory Systems.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Optimal Partitioning of Cache Memory.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e An Accurate and Efficient Performance Analysis Technique for Multiprocessor Snooping Cache-Consistency Protocols.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Analyzing Multiprocessor Cache Behavior Through Data Reference Modeling.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Analysis of Multiprocessors with Private Cache Memories.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Vector Access Performance in Parallel Memories Using a Skewed Storage Scheme.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Performance of Processor-Memory Interconnections for Multiprocessors.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e General Model for Memory Interference in Multiprocessors and Mean Value Analysis.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Equilibrium Point Analysis of Memory Interference in Multiprocessor Systems.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Scalar Memory References in Pipelined Multiprocessors: A Performance Study.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Performance Measurement and Modeling to Evaluate Various Effects on a Shared Memory Multiprocessor.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Optimal Design of Multilevel Storage Hierarchies.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Analysis of the Periodic Update Write Policy for Disk Cache.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Models of DASD Subsystems with Multiple Access Paths: A Throughput-Driven Approach.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Synchronized Disk Interleaving.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Asynchronous Disk Interleaving: Approximating Access Delays.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e An Analytic Performance Model of Disk Arrays.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e About the Author.\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003eSubject Areas: Electronics \u0026amp; communications engineering [\u003ca title=\"See our other books on Electronics \u0026amp; communications engineering\" href=\"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/search?q=%22Electronics%20\u0026amp;%20communications%20engineering%20%5BTJ%5D%22\"\u003eTJ\u003c\/a\u003e]\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003c\/font\u003e","brand":"Wiley-IEEE Computer Society Pr","offers":[{"title":"Brand New","offer_id":52410714521880,"sku":"9780818670947","price":75.78,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0730\/2037\/5320\/files\/9780818670947.jpg?v=1784249823","url":"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/products\/performance-modeling-for-computer-architects-paperback-softback-9780818670947","provider":"Freshly Printed Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
