Computer Networks and Systems: Queueing Theory and Performance Evaluation

Intended for a first course in performance evaluation, this is a self-contained treatment covering all aspects of queuing theory. It starts by introducing readers to the terminology and usefulness of queueing theory and continues by considering Markovian queues in equilibrium, Littles law, reversibility, transient analysis, and computation, plus the M/G/1 queuing system. It then moves on to cover networks of queues, and concludes with techniques for numerical solutions, a discussion of the PANACEA technique, discrete time queueing systems and simulation, and stochastic Petri networks. The whole is backed by case studies of distributed queueing networks arising in industrial applications. This third edition includes a new chapter on self-similar traffic, many new problems, and solutions for many exercises.

Computer Organization: Basic Processor Structure (Routledge Essential Grammars Ser.)

Computer Organization: Basic Processor Structure is a class-tested textbook, based on the author’s decades of teaching the topic to undergraduate and beginning graduate students. The main questions the book tries to answer are: how is a processor structured, and how does the processor function, in a general-purpose computer? The book begins with a discussion of the interaction between hardware and software, and takes the reader through the process of getting a program to run. It starts with creating the software, compiling and assembling the software, loading it into memory, and running it. It then briefly explains how executing instructions results in operations in digit circuitry. The book next presents the mathematical basics required in the rest of the book, particularly, Boolean algebra, and the binary number system. The basics of digital circuitry are discussed next, including the basics of combinatorial circuits and sequential circuits. The bus communication architecture, used in many computer systems, is also explored, along with a brief discussion on interfacing with peripheral devices. The first part of the book finishes with an overview of the RTL level of circuitry, along with a detailed discussion of machine language. The second half of the book covers how to design a processor, and a relatively simple register-implicit machine is designed. ALSU design and computer arithmetic are discussed next, and the final two chapters discuss micro-controlled processors and a few advanced topics.

powerful operations on them. An early step in this direction was the development of APl, and more recent examples have been SETl which enables a user to code in terms of mathematical enti­ ties such as sets and BDl which allows a user, presumably a businessman, to specify a computation in terms of a series of tabular forms and a series of processing paths through which data flows. The design and implementation of such languages are examined in chapters by P. GOLDBERG. Another extension to traditional methods is made possible by systems designed to automatically handle low level flow-of­ control decisions. All the above higher level languages do this implicitly with their built in operators. PROLOG is a language which does this with a theorem proving mechanism employing primarily unification and backtracking. The programmer specifies the problem to be solved with a set of formal logic statements including a theorem to be proved. The theorem proving system finds a way to combine the axioms to prove the theorem, and in the process, it completes the desired calculation. H. GAllAIRE has contributed a chapter describing PROLOG giving many examples of its usage.

Computer + Programmieren = Elektronische Datenverarbeitung

Es gibt wenige Vorgänge, welche unsere Lebensrealitäten so stark verändern wie der Computer. Deshalb ist eine didaktisch geschickte Einführung in das Computerwesen von größter Wichtigkeit. K. W. Blutke hat hier die Probleme der Hardware und Software in geschickter und praxisnaher Weise darge­ stellt, so daß sie jeder Interessierte - auch ohne spezielle Vorkenntniss- verstehen kann. Der DarsteUungsstil zeigt einerseits gründliche Sachkenntnis und anderer­ seits Einfühlungsvermögen in das Denken interessierter Außenstehender. Daß technische Erklärungen und Anwendungsbeispiele geschickt mitein­ ander verwoben sind, ist ein besonderer Reiz der Darstellung. Vor allem die zahlreichen und wohlplazierten Abbildungen sind geeignet, die Scheu des Anfängers zu überwinden. Es ist erfreulich, daß diese vorzügliche Darstellung nunmehr - überarbeitet und auf den neuesten Stand der Technik gebracht - in dritter Auflage erscheint. Ich wünsche der neuen Auflage die gebührende Beachtung und Verbreitung. K. Steinbuch 5 Vorwort und Hinweis zur 3. Auflage Begriffe wie elektronische Datenverarbeitung (EDV), Computer und Programmieren gehören heute bereits zum allgemeinen Sprachschatz. Für viele von uns sind aber solche Begriffe bisher leider nur Schlagworte geblieben; doch diesem Zustand soll dieses Buch abhelfen. Dabei werden keine speziellen Vorkenntnisse vorausgesetzt. Der gesamte Stoff wird anhand verständ licher Beispiele vermittelt: Sie erfahren, wie ein Computer programmtechnisch arbeitet und welche Möglichkeiten er im Rahmen der elektronischen Datenverarbeitung bietet; Sie werden Sinn und Zweck der Programmierung erfassen und in die Lage versetzt, kleinere Programme selbst zu konzipieren.

Computer Programming: A Mixed Language Approach

Computer Programming: A Mixed Language Approach describes computer programming from a mixed language perspective. More specifically, it examines how to make effective use of the hardware and software aspects of the total system using the mixed languages that are a composite of the absolute machine languages and the more facile problem-oriented languages. In addition to the absolute machine language required by the computer "hardware" and the problem-oriented language provided by the "software" of symbolic assembly programs and compilers, a third kind of programming language is considered, namely, the symbolic machine language. Comprised of nine chapters, this book illustrates mixed language programming using Fortran and the Fortran Symbolic Assembly Program. The discussion begins by describing a modern digital computer and introducing the general theory of number systems. Subsequent chapters focus on the way in which computing machines are organized to perform their functions; how a computer executes the sequence of instructions and performs a given calculation, a process known as coding; and non-arithmetic instructions used on computers. Subroutines, input-output, and assembly of complete programs are also explored. The final chapter is devoted to Fortran and programs written completely in Fortran, as well as executive programs and programs in mixed languages. This monograph is intended for both professional programmers-to-be and non-professionals in computer programming.

Computer Programming and Computer Systems

Computer Programming and Computer Systems imparts a "reading knowledge of computer systems. This book describes the aspects of machine-language programming, monitor systems, computer hardware, and advanced programming that every thorough programmer should be acquainted with. This text discusses the automatic electronic digital computers, symbolic language, Reverse Polish Notation, and Fortran into assembly language. The routine for reading blocked tapes, dimension statements in subroutines, general-purpose input routine, and efficient use of memory are also elaborated. This publication is intended as an introduction to modern programming practices for professional programmers, but is also valuable to research workers in science, engineering, academic, and industrial fields who are using computers.
