Bücher von Theo Ungerer

This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 21st International Conference on Architecture of Computing Systems, ARCS 2008, held in Dresden, Germany, in February 2008.The 19 revised full papers presented together with 2 keynote papers were carefully reviewed and selected from 47 submissions. The papers cover a wide spectrum reaching from pre-fabrication adaptation of architectural templates to dynamic run-time adaptation of deployed systems with special focus on adaptivity and adaptive system architectures. The papers are organized in topical sections on hardware design, pervasive computing, network processors and memory management, reconfigurable hardware, real-time architectures, organic computing, and computer architecture.

This highly relevant and up-to-the-minute book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the Third International Conference on High Performance Embedded Architectures and Compilers, HiPEAC 2008, held in Goteborg, Sweden, January 27-29, 2008. The 25 revised full papers presented together with 1 invited keynote paper were carefully reviewed and selected from 77 submissions. The papers are organized into topical sections on a number of key subjects in the field.

Where is system architecture heading? The special interest group on Computer and Systems Architecture (Fachausschuss Rechner- und Systemarchitektur) of the German computer and information technology associations GI and ITG a- ed this question and discussed it during two Future Workshops in 2002. The result in a nutshell: Everything will change but everything else will remain. Future systems technologies will build on a mature basis of silicon and IC technology,onwell-understoodprogramminglanguagesandsoftwareengineering techniques, and on well-established operating systems and middleware concepts. Newer and still exotic but exciting technologies like quantum computing and DNA processing are to be watched closely but they will not be mainstream in the next decade. Although there will be considerable progress in these basic technologies, is there any major trend which uni?es these diverse developments? There is a common denominator - according to the result of the two - ture Workshops - which marks a new quality. The challenge for future systems technologies lies in the mastering of complexity. Rigid and in?exible systems, built under a strict top-down regime, have reached the limits of manageable complexity, as has become obvious by the recent failure of several large-scale projects. Nature is the most complex system we know, and she has solved the problem somehow. We just haven't understood exactly how nature does it. But it is clear that systems designed by nature, like an anthill or a beehive or a swarm of birds or a city, are di?erent from today's technical systems that have beendesignedbyengineersandcomputerscientists.

DatenfluBrechnerprojekte, die neuesten Entwicklungen von Multithreaded-DatenfluBarchitekturen, die Large-Grain-DatenfluBarchitekturen und weitere DatenfluB-/von-Neumann-Hybridarchitekturen bilden den Kern des Buches. Ein letztes Kapitel behandelt die Multithreaded-von-Neumann-Architekturen und schlieBt damit die letzte Lticke im Architekturspektrum yom DatenfluB- bis zum von­ Neumann-Prinzip.

Das vorliegende Buch gibt zunächst eine Darstellung der grundlegenden Prinzipien der Mikrocontroller und Mikroprozessoren. Anschließend wird detailliert der neueste Stand der Technik dieser Hardware-Bausteine erläutert, und es werden alle wichtigen Entwicklungstendenzen bis hin zum aktuellen Forschungsstand vorgestellt. Ferner werden in der Praxis häufig verwendete Mikrocontroller und Mikroprozessoren in ihrer Funktionsweise analysiert und zukunftsweisende Technologien dieser Bausteine aufgezeigt. Dieses Buch ist besonders geeignet für Studierende der Informatik oder Elektrotechnik im fortgeschrittenen Grundstudium oder zu Beginn des Hauptstudiums sowie in der Praxis stehende Fachleute der Elektrotechnik, Automatisierungstechnik und hardwarenahen Informatik, die mit der Planung und der Entwicklung oder dem Einsatz von Mikrocontrollern und Mikroprozessoren befasst sind.

A survey of architectural mechanisms and implementation techniques for exploiting fine- and coarse-grained parallelism within microprocessors.
