The Rise, Fall, and Resurrection of Software as a Service
The commercial opportunities of software as a service are widely hyped these days and many think SaaS is the future of software. That might be true in the medium term, but the volatile history of remote computing shows that one cannot be sure the trend will last indefinitely.
Multicore computers shift the burden of software performance from chip designers and to software developers. Now the computing industry is challenged to make parallel computing the mainstream method for improving software performance.
The passage of time is essential to ensuring the repeatability and predictability of software and networks in cyber-physical systems.
Technical Perspective: Highly Concurrent Data Structures
The advent of multicore architectures has produced a Renaissance in the study of highly concurrent data structures.
In a thread-safe concurrent queue, consumers typically wait for producers to make data available. In a synchronous queue, producers similarly wait for consumers to take the data. We present two new nonblocking, contention-free synchronous queues that achieve high performance through a form of dualism: The underlying data structure may hold both data and, symmetrically, requests.
