商品描述

Summary

  • Covers every major elementary function, including square root and division
  • IA-64 architecture and Explicit Parallel Instruction Computing (EPIC), in depth
  • By an active participant in HP's IA-64 development team
  • For every professional building high-performance IA-64 server applications and operating systems

Optimizing code for the new IA-64 architecture.

"...a timely and valuable book. It will appeal to those interested separately or jointly in IA-64 and the elementary math functions."
—William S. Worley, Jr., Distinguished Contributor, Hewlett-Packard Laboratories

In IA-64 and Elementary Functions: Speed and Precision, leading HP computer architect Dr. Peter Markstein introduces the IA-64 architecture and its breakthrough elementary math functions. This information—essential to the development of optimized IA-64 server applications and operating systems—was formerly available only in specialized journals, or not available at all.

Markstein first introduces the IA-64 architecture, the objectives that motivated its design, and the unique architectural features that can be exploited by developers of high-performance elementary function libraries, including software pipelining, instruction grouping, prefetching, predication, speculative execution, and explicit parallelism. He then introduces several techniques that lend themselves to software pipelining, which is exceptionally well supported by the IA-64 architecture and can lead to dramatic performance gains.

The book covers all major elementary functions, demonstrating how they can be implemented to deliver optimal IA-64 performance and accuracy. Among the functions covered: square root and division, which must be performed in software on the IA-64.

For professional computer scientists, system software developers, mathematicians, and anyone building high-performance IA-64 software, IA-64 and Elementary Functions: Speed and Precision will be absolutely indispensable.

商品描述(中文翻譯)

《IA-64和基本函數：速度和精度》是由領先的惠普計算機架構師彼得·馬克斯坦博士撰寫的一本書，介紹了IA-64架構及其突破性的基本數學函數。這些信息對於開發優化的IA-64服務器應用程序和操作系統至關重要，以前只能在專門的期刊中找到，或者根本無法獲得。

馬克斯坦首先介紹了IA-64架構，介紹了其設計的目標以及開發高性能基本函數庫的開發人員可以利用的獨特架構特性，包括軟件流水線、指令分組、預取、預測、推測執行和顯式並行處理。然後，他介紹了幾種適合軟件流水線的技術，這在IA-64架構中得到了極好的支持，可以帶來顯著的性能提升。

該書涵蓋了所有主要的基本函數，演示了如何實現它們以實現最佳的IA-64性能和準確性。其中包括必須在IA-64上通過軟件執行的平方根和除法等函數。

對於專業的計算機科學家、系統軟件開發人員、數學家以及任何構建高性能IA-64軟件的人來說，《IA-64和基本函數：速度和精度》將是絕對不可或缺的資源。
