Design is an art form in which the designer selects from a myriad of alternatives to bring an "e;optimum"e; choice to a user. In many complex of "e;optimum"e; is difficult to define. Indeed, the users systems the notion themselves will not agree, so the "e;best"e; system is simply the one in which the designer and the user have a congruent viewpoint. Compounding the design problem are tradeoffs that span a variety of technologies and user requirements. The electronic business system is a classically complex system whose tradeoff criteria and user views are constantly changing with rapidly developing underlying technology. Professor Milutinovic has chosen this area for his capstone contribution to the computer systems design. This book completes his trilogy on design issue in computer systems. His first work, "e;Surviving the Design of a 200 MHz RISC Microprocessor"e; (1997) focused on the tradeoffs and design issues within a processor. His second work, "e;Surviving the Design of Microprocessor and Multiprocessor Systems"e; (2000) considers the design issues involved with assembling a number of processors into a coherent system. Finally, this book generalizes the system design problem to electronic commerce on the Internet, a global system of immense consequence.

This unique text/reference describes an exciting and novel approach to supercomputing in the DataFlow paradigm. provides a case study on the use of the new approach to accelerate the Cooley-Tukey algorithm on a DataFlow machine;

Presents a survey of both distributed shared memory (DSM) efforts and commercial DSM systems. Distributed Shared Memory discusses relevant issues that make DSM concepts one of the most attractive approaches for building large-scale, high-performance multiprocessor systems. The book provides a general introduction to the DSM field as well as a broad survey of the basic DSM concepts, mechanisms, design issues, and systems. Distributed Shared Memory: Concepts and Systems concentrates on basic DSM algorithms, their enhancements, and their performance evaluation. In addition, it details implementations that employ DSM solutions at the software and hardware level. The authors deliver a research and development reference that provides state-of-the-art information that will be useful to architects, designers, and programmers of DSM systems.
