1. |  The Art of Concurrency, 1st Edition By: Clay Breshears Publisher: O'Reilly Media, Inc. Publication Date: 15-MAY-2009 Insert Date: 05-MAY-2009 Bookshelf Slots: 1.0 | Overview: The Art of Concurrency, 1st Edition
If you're looking to take full advantage of multi-core processors
with concurrent programming, this practical book provides the
knowledge and hands-on experience you need. The Art of
Concurrency is one of the few resources to focus on
implementing algorithms in the shared-memory model of multi-core
processors, rather than just theoretical models or
distributed-memory architectures. The book provides detailed
explanations and usable samples to help you transform algorithms
from serial to parallel code, along with advice and analysis for
avoiding mistakes that programmers typically make when...

2. |  The Art of Multiprocessor Programming By: Maurice Herlihy; Nir Shavit Publisher: Morgan Kaufmann Publication Date: 03-MAR-2008 Insert Date: 26-MAR-2009 Bookshelf Slots: 1.0 | Overview: The Art of Multiprocessor Programming This book is the first comprehensive presentation of the principles
and tools available for programming multiprocessor machines. It is
of immediate use to programmers working with the new architectures.
For example, the next generation of computer game consoles will all
be multiprocessor-based, and the game industry is currently
struggling to understand how to address the programming challenges
presented by these machines.
This change in the industry is so fundamental that it is certain to
require a significant response by universities, and courses on
multicore programming will become a...

3. |  By: René J. Chevance Publisher: Digital Press Publication Date: 29-DEC-2004 Insert Date: 26-MAR-2009 Bookshelf Slots: 1.0 | The goal of this book is to present and compare various options one
for systems architecture from two separate points of view. One,
that of the information technology decision-maker who must choose a
solution matching company business requirements, and secondly that
of the systems architect who finds himself between the rock of
changes in hardware and software technologies and the hard place of
changing business needs.
Different aspects of server architecture are presented, from
databases designed for parallel architectures to high-availability
systems, and touching en route on often-...

8. |  Software Pipelines and SOA: Releasing the Power of Multi-Core Processing By: Cory Isaacson Publisher: Addison-Wesley Professional Publication Date: 23-DEC-2008 Insert Date: 09-AUG-2008 Bookshelf Slots: 1.0 | Overview: Software Pipelines and SOA: Releasing the Power of Multi-Core Processing This is the Safari online edition of the printed book.
“There are some books that tout vision but provide no
pragmatic, hands-on details.
Software Pipelines and SOA
offers a dose of both. Isaacson is an authority and
practitioner, who understands that the promise of SOA is not
fulfilled simply by embracing an architectural style of loosely
coupled, network-based services but in how the applications and
services that support this architectural style are developed and
deployed. This book will help support a pragmatic approach to
SOA.”

developed. Instead of surrendering to these common problems, let
Head First Software Development guide you through the best
practices of software development. Before you know it, those failed
projects will be a thing of the past.
With its unique visually rich format, this book pulls together the
hard lessons learned by expert software developers over the years.
You'll gain essential information about each...

for anyone considering or applying agile development for building
valuable software. Plenty of books describe what agile development
is or why it helps software projects succeed, but very few combine
information for developers, managers, testers, and customers into a
single package that they can apply directly.
This book provides no-nonsense advice on agile planning,
development, delivery, and management taken from the authors' many
years of experience with Extreme Programming (XP). You get a
gestalt view of the agile development...
