Description
Over the past several years, embedded systems have emerged as an integral though unseen part of many consumer, industrial, and military
devices. The explosive growth of these systems has resulted in embedded computing becoming an increasingly important discipline. The
need for designers of high-performance, application-specific computing systems has never been greater, and many universities and colleges
in the US and worldwide are now developing advanced courses to help prepare their students for careers in embedded computing.
High-Performance
Embedded Computing: Architectures, Applications, and Methodologies is the first book designed to address the needs of advanced students
and industry professionals. Focusing on the unique complexities of embedded system design, the book provides a detailed look at advanced
topics in the field, including multiprocessors, VLIW and superscalar architectures, and power consumption. Fundamental challenges in
embedded computing are described, together with design methodologies and models of computation.
HPEC provides an in-depth and
advanced treatment of all the components of embedded systems, with discussions of the current developments in the field and numerous
examples of real-world applications.
Audience:
Sr. undergraduates and graduate students in CS, CE, and EE advanced embedded computing courses; computing professionals in hardware design
or software development who are seeking an integrated knowledge of both in order to design embedded systems.
