Kumar et al., ‘‘Heterogeneous Chip Multiprocessors’’
The multicore chips used for desktop computers are symmetric—all the cores
are identical.
However, for some applications, heterogeneous CMPs are
widespread, with cores for computing, video decoding, audio decoding, and so on.
This paper discusses some issues related to heterogeneous CMPs.
Kwok and Ahmad, ‘‘Static Scheduling Algorithms for Allocating Directed Task
Graphs to Multiprocessors’’
Optimal job scheduling of a multicomputer or multiprocessor is possible when
the characteristics of all the jobs are known in advance. The problem is that opti-
mal scheduling takes too long to compute.
In this paper, the authors discuss and
compare 27 known algorithms for attacking this problem in different ways.
Zhuravlev et al., ‘‘Survey of Scheduling Techniques for Addressing Shared
Resources in Multicore Processors’’
As mentioned earlier, one of the most important challenges in multiprocessor
systems is shared resource contention. This survey presents different scheduling
techniques for handling such contention.
13.1.9 Security
Anderson,
Security Engineering, 2nd Edition
A wonderful book that explains very clearly how to build dependable and
secure systems by one of the best-known researchers in the field. Not only is this a
fascinating look at many aspects of security (including techniques, applications,
and organizational issues), it is also freely available online. No excuse for not read-
ing it.
Vander Veen et al., ‘‘Memory Errors: the Past, the Present, and the Future’’
A historical view on memory errors (including buffer overflows, format string
attacks, dangling pointers, and many others) that includes attacks and defenses,
attacks that evade those defenses, new defenses that stop the attacks that evaded the
earlier defenses, and ..., well, anyway, you get the idea. The authors show that
despite their old age and the rise of other types of attack, memory errors remain an
extremely important attack vector. Moreover, they argue that this situation is not
likely to change any time soon.
Bratus, ‘‘What Hackers Learn That the Rest of Us Don’t’’
What makes hackers different? What do they care about that regular program-
mers do not?
Do they have different attitudes toward APIs?
Are corner cases
important? Curious? Read it.
