Download or read book Attaining High Performance Communications written by Ada Gavrilovska and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2016-04-19 with total page 440 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: No single solution applied at one particular layer can help applications solve all performance-related issues with communication services. Instead, this book shows that a coordinated effort is needed among the layers. It covers many different types of technologies and layers across the stack, from the architectural features of the hardware, through the protocols and their implementation in operating system kernels, to the manner in which application services and middleware are using underlying platforms. The book also describes key developments in high-end platforms, high performance interconnection fabrics and communication libraries, and multi- and many-core systems.
