Multicore Technology

Nowadays, multicore/multithreaded computing systems are not only a de facto standard for high-end applications, they are also gaining popularity in embedded computing. The start of the multicore era has altered concepts in almost all areas of computer architecture design, including core design, memory management, thread scheduling, application support, inter-processor communication, debugging, and power management. With contributions from industry as well as academia, 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.
