PowerPC 601 and Alpha 21064: A Tale of Two RISCs ( ; IEEE Computer Magazine 1994-06)
- - A discussion is given on two RISC implementations: from Digital Equipment Corporation, the Alpha 21064, and from IBM/Motorola/Apple, the PowerPC 601. Both are superscalar implementations, that is, they can sustain execution of two or more instructions per clock cycle. Otherwise, these two implementations present vastly different philosophies for achieving high performance. The PowerPC 601 focuses on powerful instructions and great flexibility in processing order, while the Alpha 21064 depends on a very fast clock, with simpler instructions and a more streamlined implementation structure. These two RISC microprocessors exemplify contrasting, but equally valid, implementation philosophies. An overview is given of the instruction sets and the authors emphasize the differences in design: PowerPC uses powerful instructions so that fewer are needed to get the job done; Alpha uses simple instructions so that the hardware can be kept simpler and faster. The authors also discuss the pipelined implementations of the two architectures; again, the contrast is between powerful and simple.
Container shipping: operating system support for I/O-intensive applications ( Joseph Pasquale, Eric Anderson, P. Keith Muller ; IEEE Computer Magazine 1994-03)
- - New I/O devices with data rates ranging from 10 to 100 Mbytes per second are becoming available for personal computers and workstations. Along with continual improvements in processor, memory, and bus technology, these devices have enabled I/O-intensive applications for desktop computing that require input, processing, and output of very large amounts of data. We focus on an important aspect of operating system support for these applications: efficient transfer of large data objects between the protection domains in which processes and devices reside. A rapidly growing class of I/O-intensive applications is multimedia computing. After we present an I/O-pipeline model, we analyze issues relevant to the design of an operating system inter-domain data-transfer facility. Then we present the design for such a facility. An I/O pipeline is a model of a dynamic computation structure consisting of a sequence of domains: an input domain followed by one or more intermediate domains, and an output domain.
The Alloc Stream Facility: a redesign of application-level stream I/O ( Orran Krieger, Michael Stumm, Ron Unrau ; IEEE Computer Magazine 1994-03)
- - The authors introduce an application-level I/O facility, the Alloc Stream Facility, that addresses three primary goals. First, ASF addresses recent computing substrate changes to improve performance, allowing applications to benefit from specific features such as mapped files. Second, it is designed for parallel systems, maximizing concurrency and reporting errors properly. Finally, its modular and object-oriented structure allows it to support a variety of popular I/O interfaces (including stdio and C++ stream I/O) and to be tuned to system behavior, exploiting a system's strengths while avoiding its weaknesses. On a number of standard Unix systems, I/O-intensive applications perform substantially better when linked to the Alloc facility. Also, modifying applications to use a new interface provided by the facility can improve performance by another factor of two. These performance improvements are achieved primarily by reducing data copying and the number of system calls. Not visible in these improvements is the extra degree of concurrency the facility brings to multithreaded and parallel applications.
The I/O subsystem/spl minus/a candidate for improvement ( Yale N. Patt ; IEEE Computer Magazine 1994-03)
- - A computer system can be partitioned into hardware and the software executing on that hardware. The hardware consists of processor(s), memory, and "everything else". The "everything else" we generally combine under the umbrella "I/O, whose job it is to manage the availability of information to and from the processor(s) and memory". That information comes from storage devices, networks, and nonstorage devices. The I/O subsystem is the collection of all three; its influence on performance is a reflection of how well it manages the availability of information to and from all three. The impression today, from both the hardware side and the software side, is that the I/O subsystem can certainly stand improvement. The author considers improvements to the I/O subsystem.
Fundamentals of Bar Code Information Theory ( Theo Pavlidis, Jerome Swartz, Ynjiun P. Wang ; IEEE Computer Magazine 1990-04)
- - To compare encoding and decoding schemes requires one to first look into information and coding theory. This article discusses problems and possible solutions in encoding information.
A Hierarchical Taxonomic System for Computer Architectures ( Subrata Dasgupta ; IEEE Computer Magazine 1990-03)
- - A novel hierarchical architectural taxonomic system that appears to possess the desirable characteristics of a good taxonomic scheme is presented. The author focuses on the endoarchitecture, i.e. the logical structure, control and behavior of the integrated system of hardware components. The starting point for this system is D.B. Skillicorn's scheme (see ibid., vol.21, no.11, p.46-57, 1988). However, the system both extends and departs from Skillicorn's scheme, using formulas inspired by chemical notation to classify computer architectures in a way that provides both predictive power and explanatory capabilities.
