Description
Since 1960, Advances in Computers has chronicled the constantly shifting theories and methods of Information Technology which greatly
shapes our lives today
This volume, the 59th in the series, presents two general themes. The first 4 papers discuss tool use in developing
software - how groups work together to produce a product, and why the very industries that need them often do NOT adopt such tools. The
fifth paper addresses a current hardware issue - cache coherence. As we build faster machines, a way to increase performance is to have
multiple CPUs working on solving the same problem. This requires two or more CPUs to address the same memory at the same time. The cache
coherence problem is how to allow both machines to access the same memory without "stepping on each others toes" so that memory gets
lost or corrupted
