Invasive Computing for Mapping Parallel Programs to Many-Core Architectures

The book "Invasive Computing for Mapping Parallel Programs to Many-Core Architectures" offers a comprehensive introduction to the concept of invasive computing. It addresses the essential aspects of invasive programming, including relevant language constructs and the underlying hardware principles. A central theme is the efficient mapping of task-parallel applications to future multi-core architectures, which can include over 1,000 processors. The book considers not only functional correctness but also non-functional properties such as execution times and security features. It contains extensive experimental evaluations that investigate the benefits of invasive computing and hybrid application mapping to provide guarantees for non-functional properties like timing, energy consumption, and security. The techniques presented are explained step by step and supported by examples and illustrations.
