A Vision for Platform Autonomy—Available Now
A Vision for Platform Autonomy provides the holistic overview and the solution to the platform autonomics related to power, thermal, RAS, locality, and resource monitoring. In addition to providing the theoretical basis of autonomics features, this book introduces the current state of the art in Intel® platforms. It covers the software-based models and industry standards relevant to each autonomics feature. The emerging concept of low-speed wireless interconnects to achieve better platform autonomics is introduced as well. With platform autonomics, the system is able to maintain a stable equilibrium while hiding the complexity of the autonomics system from the users, much like its biological inspiration—the autonomic nervous system—does in our bodies.

"Driven by nearly a billion people online and a trillion connected objects, the scale of computing technology has exploded over the last decade, mandating the need for autonomic capabilities in IT systems and systems components. A Vision for Platform Autonomy: Robust Frameworks for Systems reveals the concepts, architectures, and core methodologies enabling the underlying elements essential to achieve autonomic computing."
- Alan G. Ganek, Chief Technology Officer & Vice President, Strategy and Technology, IBM Software Group
"I would highly recommend A Vision for Platform Autonomy for data center managers, enterprise management professionals, and platform architects. The authors have made significant contributions to the field of autonomics by providing an implementation framework and real life examples of how various feature and capabilities of modern compute platforms can contribute to a robust solution for autonomics."
- Professor Mariette Awad, Assistant Professor, Electrical and Computer Engineering Department, American University of Beirut
"The frameworks discussed by the authors of A Vision for Platform Autonomy have a lot to offer in terms of methodologies that can be adopted for building innovative solutions related to power/thermal and availability aspects. It provides researchers a cost-effective alternative to building higher performance designs that are critical for advancing future-generation platform architectures. Computer engineers and designers will find this book very valuable."
- Dr Vasant Kumar Jain, Master Black Belt (Quality), GE India Technology Center, Bangalore, India
