Reiss Romoli, L'Aquila, Italy 30 August-12 September 1992 PROCEEDINGS Editor: C Verkerk GENEVA 1993 CERN-Service d'information scientifique-RD/907-2200~juiHet 1993 Abstract These Proceedings contain written accounts of most of the lectures given at the 1992 CERN School of Computing, covering a variety of topics. A number of aspects of parallel and of distributed computing were treated in five lecture series: "Status of parallel computing", "An introduc­ tion to the APE100 computer", "Introduction to distributed systems", "Inter­ process communication" and "SHIFT, heterogeneous workstation services at CERN". Triggering and data acquisition for future colliders was covered in: "Neu­ ral networks for trigger" and "Architecture for future data acquisition sys­ tems". Analysis of experiments was treated in two series of lectures: "Off-line software in HEP: experience and trends", and "Is there a future for event display?". Design techniques were the subject of lectures on: "Computer-aided de­ sign of electronics", "CADD, computer-aided detector design" and "Software design, the methods and the tools". The other lectures reproduced here treated various fields: "Second gen­ eration expert systems", "Multidatabase in health care systems", "Multimedia networks, what is new ?", "Pandora: an experimental distributed multimedia, system", "Benchmarking computers for HEP", "Experience with some early computers" and "Turing and ACE; lessons from a 1946 computer design". Ml Preface The fifteenth CERN School of Computing took place in L'Aquila, Italy. Sixty-six students from fourteen countries participated. The School was organised in collaboration with the "ïstituto Nazionale di Fisica Nucleare" (INFN). We are very grateful to Drs. Sandro Centro and Enzo Valente for their participation in organising the School, and we thank Professor N. Cabibbo for his active support. The School was hosted by the "Scuola Superiore Guglielmo Reiss Romoli". We were impressed by the excellent facilities offered by this centre and we wish to express our sincere thanks to its Director, Professor S. Rotella, and to his representative Dr. B. Santariga for making it possible to use their facilities. The assistance provided by the staff of the "Sculoa Superiore G. Reiss Romoli" is gratefully acknowledged. Special thanks go to the print shop, who produced thousands of pages at very short notice and to the people who assisted with the e-mail facility and the PCs. Mrs. Ingiacomo and Messrs de Meo and Aglioti were also of great help. The lecture programme was again varied and greatly appreciated by the partici­ pants. All lecturers are sincerely thanked for their efforts in preparing and delivering their lectures, for providing written accounts of their presentations, and for their availability to discuss with the students. The lecture programme was complemented by excellent introductions to software design methods and tools, followed by very demanding practical work. Most of the students tackled the practical excercises with great interest and enthusiasm. Drs. Paolo Palazzi and Stephen Fisher, who organised the practical sessions are very warmly thanked for their efforts and congratulated with the results. Our sincere thanks also go to their assistants: Arash Khodabandeh, Alberto Aimar, Tlior Lunde and Bernard Sarosi. An excursion was organised to the near-by Gran Sasso Laboratory. The visit of the underground experimental halls was very much appreciated. We thank INFN and in particular Professor Navarro for organising this visit. The participants will certainly remember the excellent meals served by the restau­ rant of the Reiss Romoli centre. The manager, Mr. Bardelli, and all his staff are sincerely thanked for having taken such good care of us. We express our gratitude to our secretaries, Mrs. Ingrid Barnett and Mrs Cristina Miletti. We thank the students for their active participation and we wish all of them success in their professional life. C.Verkerk Editor V ADVISORY COMMITTEE R. BRUN, CERN, Geneva, Switzerland B.E.

Palazzi, CERN, Geneva. CH Abstract OMT, a, method for software design, was introduced and compared with similar approaches and related CASE tools were demonstrated. Students formed teams and each team chose a project and applied OMT as far as producing a design document. The course was based on a book by J. Rumbaugh et al. so we just explain the outline of the course and refer our readers to the book. 1 Summary of lectures A software system goes through phases of requirements analysis, design, implementation, testing, operations and maintenance. After analysis (what to build), comes the design phase (how to build it): system design requires decisions about architecture then detailed design concentrates on mapping of data structures and on algorithms. Design makes use of models, abstractions of a system that permit us to understand it before we build it. To build a complex system, the developers use different views of the system, build models using a, precise notation, verify that the models satisfy the requirements of the system, and gradually add detail to transform the models into an implementation. A methodology is a combination of models with a prescription to use them across the software lifecycle. The Object Modelling Technique (OMT) is a methodology that spans analysis, design and implementation using a single terminology, and can have various targets, including conventional programming languages as well as 00 ones. OMT is based on extensions to three well proven models: object : describes the structure of the data with an an extended ER model. dynamic : models temporal relationships of those objects having significant dynamic behaviour using interacting finite state machines. functional : shows functional relationship among data values using a small extension to the Dataflow diagram of SA/SD. In the lectures OMT was compared with other object-oriented approaches as well as with SA/SD, Petri Nets and Entity-Relationship (ER) modelling.

  • Binary Translation 1 Abstract Binary Translation Is a Technique Used To
    Binary Translation 1 Abstract Binary translation is a technique used to change an executable program for one computer architecture and operating system into an executable program for a different computer architecture and operating system. Two binary translators are among the migration tools available for Alpha AXP computers: VEST translates OpenVMS VAX binary images to OpenVMS AXP images; mx translates ULTRIX MIPS images to DEC OSF/1 AXP images. In both cases, translated code usually runs on Alpha AXP computers as fast or faster than the original code runs on the original architecture. In contrast to other migration efforts in the industry, the VAX translator reproduces subtle CISC behavior on a RISC machine, and both open-ended translators provide good performance on dynamically modified programs. Alpha AXP binary translators are important migration tools - hundreds of translated OpenVMS VAX and ULTRIX MIPS images currently run on Alpha AXP systems. When Digital started to design the Alpha AXP architecture in the fall of 1988, the Alpha AXP team was concerned about how to run existing VAX code and soon-to-exist MIPS code on the new Alpha AXP computers.[1,2] To take full advantage of the performance capability of a new computer architecture, an application must be ported by rebuilding, using native compilers. For a single program written in a standard programming language, this is a matter of recompile and run. A complex software application, however, can be built from hundreds of source pieces using dozens of tools. A native port of such an application is possible only when all parts of the build path are running on the new architecture.

  • Social Construction and the British Computer Industry in the Post-World War II Period
    The rhetoric of Americanisation: Social construction and the British computer industry in the Post-World War II period By Robert James Kirkwood Reid Submitted to the University of Glasgow for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Economic History Department of Economic and Social History September 2007 1 Abstract This research seeks to understand the process of technological development in the UK and the specific role of a ‘rhetoric of Americanisation’ in that process. The concept of a ‘rhetoric of Americanisation’ will be developed throughout the thesis through a study into the computer industry in the UK in the post-war period . Specifically, the thesis discusses the threat of America, or how actors in the network of innovation within the British computer industry perceived it as a threat and the effect that this perception had on actors operating in the networks of construction in the British computer industry. However, the reaction to this threat was not a simple one. Rather this story is marked by sectional interests and technopolitical machination attempting to capture this rhetoric of ‘threat’ and ‘falling behind’. In this thesis the concept of ‘threat’ and ‘falling behind’, or more simply the ‘rhetoric of Americanisation’, will be explored in detail and the effect this had on the development of the British computer industry. What form did the process of capture and modification by sectional interests within government and industry take and what impact did this have on the British computer industry? In answering these questions, the thesis will first develop a concept of a British culture of computing which acts as the surface of emergence for various ideologies of innovation within the social networks that made up the computer industry in the UK.

A given ISA may be implemented with different microarchitectures.[1] Implementations might vary due to different goals of a given design or due to shifts in technology.[2] Computer architecture is the combination of microarchitecture and instruction set design. Relation to instruction set architecture The ISA is roughly the same as the programming model of a processor as seen by an assembly language programmer or compiler writer. The ISA includes the execution model, processor registers, address and data formats among other things. The Intel Core microarchitecture microarchitecture includes the constituent parts of the processor and how these interconnect and interoperate to implement the ISA. The microarchitecture of a machine is usually represented as (more or less detailed) diagrams that describe the interconnections of the various microarchitectural elements of the machine, which may be everything from single gates and registers, to complete arithmetic logic units (ALU)s and even larger elements.
