Multithreaded architectures now appear across the entire range of computing devices, from the highest-performing general purpose devices to low-end embedded processors. Multithreading enables a processor core to more effectively utilize its computational resources, as a stall in one thread need not cause execution resources to be idle. This enables the computer architect to maximize performance within area constraints, power constraints, or energy constraints. However, the architectural options for the processor designer or architect looking to implement multithreading are quite extensive and varied, as evidenced not only by the research literature but also by the variety of commercial implementations. This book introduces the basic concepts of multithreading, describes the a number of models of multithreading, and then develops the three classic models (coarse-grain, fine-grain, and simultaneous multithreading) in greater detail. It describes a wide variety of architectural and software design tradeoffs, as well as opportunities specific to multithreading architectures. Finally, it details a number of important commercial and academic hardware implementations of multithreading

Comment redéfinir les rapports entre architecture et idéologie aujourd'hui ? Quelles relations peut-on envisager entre elles, après plusieurs décennies durant lesquelles les architectes et les critiques ont docilement accepté les discours prônant la fin des idéologies ? Comment cerner le pouvoir et l'influence des forces invisibles et collectives qui façonnent l'architecture, de l'intérieur comme de l'extérieur ? Ce livre répond à ces questions en témoignant des différentes positions qui se sont exprimées lors du colloque "Architecture et idéologies" qui s'est déroulé à l'école d'architecture de Paris-Malaquais et l'École d'architecture de la ville et des territoires Paris-Est

In Terminal Architecture, Martin Pawley argues that nearly all modern architecture is misconceived. To embrace a genuinely innovative architectural future would entail a radical shift in values and Pawley considers new vocabularies to achieve this aim. The vision described in Terminal Architecture is an apocalyptic one, spelling the end of architecture and the city as we know them, and cannot fail to stimulate debate. "Brilliant and beautifully written"--Jonathan Glancey, The Architects' Journal
