The primary audience for this book are advanced undergraduate
students and graduate students. Computer architecture, as it
happened in other fields such as electronics, evolved from the
small to the large, that is, it left the realm of low-level
hardware constructs, and gained new dimensions, as distributed
systems became the keyword for system implementation. As such, the
system architect, today, assembles pieces of hardware that are at
least as large as a computer or a network router or a LAN hub, and
assigns pieces of software that are self-contained, such as client
or server programs, Java applets or pro tocol modules, to those
hardware components. The freedom she/he now has, is tremendously
challenging. The problems alas, have increased too. What was before
mastered and tested carefully before a fully-fledged mainframe or a
closely-coupled computer cluster came out on the market, is today
left to the responsibility of computer engineers and scientists
invested in the role of system architects, who fulfil this role on
behalf of software vendors and in tegrators, add-value system
developers, R&D institutes, and final users. As system
complexity, size and diversity grow, so increases the probability
of in consistency, unreliability, non responsiveness and
insecurity, not to mention the management overhead. What System
Architects Need to Know The insight such an architect must have
includes but goes well beyond, the functional properties of
distributed systems."
