Compact Models and Measurement Techniques for High-Speed Interconnects provides detailed analysis of issues related to high-speed interconnects from the perspective of modeling approaches and measurement techniques.
This book brings together a selection of the best papers from the thirteenth edition of the Forum on specification and Design Languages Conference (FDL), which was held in Southampton, UK in September 2010.
This book presents the methodologies and for embedded systems design, using field programmable gate array (FPGA) devices, for the most modern applications.
This book covers state-of-the art techniques for high-level modeling and validation of complex hardware/software systems, including those with multicore architectures.
Given the widespread use of real-time multitasking systems, there are tremendous optimization opportunities if reconfigurable computing can be effectively incorporated while maintaining performance and other design constraints of typical applications.
This book introduces Open Core Protocol (OCP) not as a conventional hardware communications protocol but as a meta-protocol: a means for describing and capturing the communications requirements of an IP core, and mapping them to a specific set of signals with known semantics.
This book highlights the complex issues, tasks and skills that must be mastered by an IP designer, in order to design an optimized and robust digital circuit to solve a problem.
At the initiative of the IBM Almaden Research Center and the National Science Foundation, a workshop on "e;Opportunities and Constraints of Parallel Computing"e; was held in San Jose, California, on December 5-6, 1988.
Widespread use of parallel processing will become a reality only if the process of porting applications to parallel computers can be largely automated.
Concurrent data structures simplify the development of concurrent programs by encapsulating commonly used mechanisms for synchronization and commu- nication into data structures.
High Performance Computational Methods for Biological Sequence Analysis presents biological sequence analysis using an interdisciplinary approach that integrates biological, mathematical and computational concepts.
Distributed computer systems are now widely available but, despite a number of recent advances, the design of software for these systems remains a challenging task, involving two main difficulties: the absence of a shared clock and the absence of a shared memory.
Document Processing and Retrieval: TEXPROS focuses on the design and implementation of a personal, customizable office information and document processing system called TEXPROS (a TEXt PROcessing System).
Automatic Performance Prediction of Parallel Programs presents a unified approach to the problem of automatically estimating the performance of parallel computer programs.
Computers are currently used in a variety of critical applications, including systems for nuclear reactor control, flight control (both aircraft and spacecraft), and air traffic control.
Input/Output in Parallel and Distributed Computer Systems has attracted increasing attention over the last few years, as it has become apparent that input/output performance, rather than CPU performance, may be the key limiting factor in the performance of future systems.
Although asynchronous circuits date back to the early 1950s most of the digital circuits in use today are synchronous because, traditionally, asynchronous circuits have been viewed as difficult to understand and design.
Workstation and computer users have an ever increasing need for solutions that offer high performance, low cost, small footprints (space requirements), and ease of use.
This monograph is an outgrowth of the authors' recent research on the de- velopment of algorithms for several low-level vision problems using artificial neural networks.
