This I\/O bottleneck is caused by the increasing speed  mismatch between processing units and storage devices, the use of  multiple processors operating simultaneously in parallel and  distributed systems, and by the increasing I\/O demands of new classes  of applications, like multimedia. It is also important to note that,  to varying degrees, the I\/O bottleneck exists at multiple levels of  the memory hierarchy. All indications are that the I\/O bottleneck will  be with us for some time to come, and is likely to increase in  importance. \u003cbr\u003e  \u003cem\u003eInput\/Output in Parallel and Distributed Computer Systems\u003c\/em\u003e is  based on papers presented at the 1994 and 1995 IOPADS workshops held  in conjunction with the International Parallel Processing Symposium.  This book is divided into three parts. Part I, the Introduction,  contains four invited chapters which provide a tutorial survey of I\/O  issues in parallel and distributed systems. The chapters in Parts II  and III contain selected research papers from the 1994 and 1995 IOPADS  workshops; many of these papers have been substantially revised and  updated for inclusion in this volume. Part II collects the papers from  both years which deal with various aspects of system software, and  Part III addresses architectural issues. \u003cbr\u003e  \u003cem\u003eInput\/Output in Parallel and Distributed Computer Systems\u003c\/em\u003e is  suitable as a secondary text for graduate level courses in computer  architecture, software engineering, and multimedia systems, and as a  reference for researchers and practitioners in industry.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Springer\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 1996-06-30\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Hardcover\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9780792397359\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-1-4613-1401-1\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 235cm x155cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 396\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer US","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45578419830924,"sku":"9780792397359","price":197.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9780792397359.jpg?v=1771511126","url":"https:\/\/lateknightbooks.com\/products\/9780792397359","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
