If you’re involved in large Hadoop projects, this book shows you how ZooKeeper simplifies the task of implementing a distributed system. Implementing coordination tasks with ZooKeeper is not entirely trivial. There are still subtle points and caveats to watch out for. With this book, ZooKeeper contributors Flavio Junqueira and Benjamin Reed provide good practices for building systems with this Apache software tool.

This book also:

• Introduces a master-worker architecture as a running example
• Includes examples of coordination primitives in the master-worker architecture, in addition to examples of real systems with those requirements
• Presents information on handling events and changes in the system, specifically dealing with disconnected events and session expirations
• Shows you how to download and install a Zookeeper release, including how to choose a cluster configuration

Hardware

We are entering a new frontier in the evolution of computing: the era of cognitive systems. The victory of IBM's Watson on the television quiz show Jeopardy! signaled the advent of this new era, revealing how scientists and engineers at IBM and elsewhere are pushing the boundaries of science and technology to create machines that sense, learn, reason, and interact with people in new ways.

In Smart Machines, John E. Kelly III, director of IBM Research, and Steve Hamm, a writer at IBM and a former business and technology journalist, introduce the fascinating world of "cognitive systems" to general audiences and provide a window into the future of computing. Cognitive systems promise to penetrate complexity and assist people and organizations in better decision making. They can help doctors better diagnose and treat patients, augment the ways we see, anticipate major weather events, and contribute to smarter urban planning. Kelly and Hamm's comprehensive perspective describes this technology inside and out, and their extensive knowledge illuminates the difficulty of harnessing and understanding "big data," one of the major computing challenges facing technicians in the coming decades. Absorbing and impassioned, their book will inspire governments, academics, and the global tech industry to work together to power this exciting wave in innovation.

Hardware

Intel® Xeon Phi™ Coprocessor Architecture and Tools: The Guide for Application Developers provides developers a comprehensive introduction and in-depth look at the Intel Xeon Phi coprocessor architecture and the corresponding parallel data structure tools and algorithms used in the various technical computing applications for which it is suitable. It also examines the source code-level optimizations that can be performed to exploit the powerful features of the processor.

Xeon Phi is at the heart of world’s fastest commercial supercomputer, which thanks to the massively parallel computing capabilities of Intel Xeon Phi processors coupled with Xeon Phi coprocessors attained 33.86 teraflops of benchmark performance in 2013. Extracting such stellar performance in real-world applications requires a sophisticated understanding of the complex interaction among hardware components, Xeon Phi cores, and the applications running on them.

In this book, Rezaur Rahman, an Intel leader in the development of the Xeon Phi coprocessor and the optimization of its applications, presents and details all the features of Xeon Phi core design that are relevant to the practice of application developers, such as its vector units, hardware multithreading, cache hierarchy, and host-to-coprocessor communication channels. Building on this foundation, he shows developers how to solve real-world technical computing problems by selecting, deploying, and optimizing the available algorithms and data structure alternatives matching Xeon Phi’s hardware characteristics. From Rahman’s practical descriptions and extensive code examples, the reader will gain a working knowledge of the Xeon Phi vector instruction set and the Xeon Phi microarchitecture whereby cores execute 512-bit instruction streams in parallel.

What you’ll learn

 

• How to calculate theoretical Gigaflops and bandwidth numbers on the hardware and measure them through code segment
• How to estimate latencies in fetching data from different cache hierarchies, including memory subsystems
• How to measure PCIe bus bandwidth between the host and coprocessor
• How to exploit power management and reliability features built into the hardware
• How to select and manipulate the best tools to tune particular Xeon Phi applications
• Algorithms and data structures for optimizing Xeon Phi performance
• Case studies of real-world Xeon Phi technical computing applications in molecular dynamics and financial simulations

 

 

Who this book is for

This book is for developers wishing to design and develop technical computing applications to achieve the highest performance available in the Intel Xeon Phi coprocessor hardware. It provides a solid base on the coprocessor architecture, as well as algorithm and data structure case studies for Xeon Phi coprocessor. The book may also be of interest to students and practitioners in computer engineering as a case study for massively parallel core microarchitecture of modern day processors.

Table of Contents

1.  Introduction to Xeon Phi Architecture

2.  Programming Xeon Phi

3.  Xeon Phi Vector Architecture and Instruction Set

4.  Xeon Phi Core Microarchitecture

Hardware

The 5th edition of Computer Organization and Design moves forward into the post-PC era with new examples, exercises, and material highlighting the emergence of mobile computing and the cloud. This generational change is emphasized and explored with updated content featuring tablet computers, cloud infrastructure, and the ARM (mobile computing devices) and x86 (cloud computing) architectures.

Because an understanding of modern hardware is essential to achieving good performance and energy efficiency, this edition adds a new concrete example, "Going Faster," used throughout the text to demonstrate extremely effective optimization techniques. Also new to this edition is discussion of the "Eight Great Ideas" of computer architecture.

As with previous editions, a MIPS processor is the core used to present the fundamentals of hardware technologies, assembly language, computer arithmetic, pipelining, memory hierarchies and I/O.

If you have a working knowledge of Haskell, this hands-on book shows you how to use the language’s many APIs and frameworks for writing both parallel and concurrent programs. You’ll learn how parallelism exploits multicore processors to speed up computation-heavy programs, and how concurrency enables you to write programs with threads for multiple interactions.

Author Simon Marlow walks you through the process with lots of code examples that you can run, experiment with, and extend. Divided into separate sections on Parallel and Concurrent Haskell, this book also includes exercises to help you become familiar with the concepts presented:

• Express parallelism in Haskell with the Eval monad and Evaluation Strategies
• Parallelize ordinary Haskell code with the Par monad
• Build parallel array-based computations, using the Repa library
• Use the Accelerate library to run computations directly on the GPU
• Work with basic interfaces for writing concurrent code
• Build trees of threads for larger and more complex programs
• Learn how to build high-speed concurrent network servers
• Write distributed programs that run on multiple machines in a network
