It describes how the memory hierarchy introduces non-uniform memory access, and how mapping can be used to reduce the memory access latency in current hardware architectures.
On the software side, this book describes the characteristics present in parallel applications that are used by mapping techniques to improve memory access.
Several state-of-the-art methods are analyzed, and the benefits and drawbacks of each one are identified.

Eduardo Henrique Molina da Cruz graduated, with honors, in Computer Science in the State University of Maringá (UEM) in 2009. He received his master's degree from the Postgraduate Program in Computing in the Informatics Institute of the Federal University of Rio Grande do Sul (UFRGS) in 2012. In 2016, he received his Ph.D., with honors, also by the Postgraduate Program in Computing at the Informatics Institute of the Federal University of Rio Grande do Sul (UFRGS). After the Ph.D., he worked as a postdoctoral researcher at the Federal University of Rio Grande do Sul (UFRGS). His research comprises the areas of computer architecture, operating systems and parallel and distributed processing. It focuses on optimizing the memory access in multicore and manycore architectures, as well as architectures with non-uniform access to memory (NUMA). Currently, he is a professor at Federal Institute of Parana (IFPR).
Matthias Diener received his PhD degree in Computer Science fromthe Federal University of Rio Grande do Sul (UFRGS) and the TU Berlin in 2015. He is currently a postdoctoral researcher at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. His work focuses on adapting parallel applications to the hardware they are running on, through improving data locality, load balancing, and support for heterogeneous systems.
Philippe O. A. Navaux graduated in electronic engineering from UFRGS in 1970, and received the masters degree in applied physics from UFRGS in 1973 and the Ph.D. degree in computer science from INPG, France in 1979. He is a professor at UFRGS since 1973. He is the head of the Parallel and Distributed Processing Group at UFRGS and a consultant to various national and international funding agencies such as DoE (US), ANR (FR), CNPq, and CAPES (BR).

System requirements
File format: PDF
Copy protection: Watermark-DRM (Digital Rights Management)
System requirements:
- Computer (Windows; MacOS X; Linux): Use the free software Adobe Reader, Adobe Digital Editions, or any other PDF viewer of your choice (see eBook Help).
- Tablet/Smartphone (Android; iOS): Install the free app Adobe Digital Editions or another reading app for eBooks, e.g., PocketBook (see eBook Help).
- E-reader: Bookeen, Kobo, Pocketbook, Sony, Tolino and many more (only limited: Kindle).
The file format PDF always displays a book page identically on any hardware. This makes PDF suitable for complex layouts such as those used in textbooks and reference books (images, tables, columns, footnotes). Unfortunately, on the small screens of e-readers or smartphones, PDFs are rather annoying, requiring too much scrolling.
This eBook uses Watermark-DRM, a „soft” copy protection. This means that there are no technical restrictions to prevent illegal distribution. However, there is a personalised watermark embedded in the eBook that can be used to identify the purchaser of the eBook in the event of misuse and to provide evidence for legal purposes.
