This book provides computer engineers academic researchers new graduate students and seasoned practitioners an end-to-end overview of virtual memory. We begin with a recap of foundational concepts and discuss not only state-of-the-art virtual memory... more

Today computer-system optimization at both the hardware and software levels must consider the details of the memory system in its analysis; failing to do so yields systems that are increasingly inefficient as those systems become more complex. This... more

This book focuses on the core question of the necessary architectural support provided by hardware to efficiently run virtual machines and of the corresponding design of the hypervisors that run them. Virtualization is still possible when the... more

This book offers a comprehensive survey of shared-memory synchronization with an emphasis on systems-level issues. It includes sufficient coverage of architectural details to understand correctness and performance on modern multicore machines and... more

Many modern computer systems including homogeneous and heterogeneous architectures support shared memory in hardware. In a shared memory system each of the processor cores may read and write to a single shared address space. For a shared memory... more
