Multiprocessor Systems-on-Chips (The Morgan Kaufmann Series in Systems on Silicon)

Multiprocessor Systems-on-Chips (The Morgan Kaufmann Series in Systems on Silicon), 9780123852519 (012385251X), Morgan Kaufmann, 2004

Wolf and Jerraya have struck a delicate balance in the presentation of a specialized body of knowledge that is highly detailed and topic-specific, yet sufficiently wide-ranging to reflect the overall concept of an MPSOC as the next logical step in integrated complex system design. The text provides an eminently accessible and practical view of the issues associated with this emerging and important area of endeavor.
-Daniel Phillips, Rochester Institute of Technology

Modern system-on-chip (SoC) design shows a clear trend toward integration of multiple processor cores on a single chip. Designing a multiprocessor system-on-chip (MPSOC) requires an understanding of the various design styles and techniques used in the multiprocessor. Understanding the application area of the MPSOC is also critical to making proper tradeoffs and design decisions.

Editors Wayne Wolf and Ahmed Jerraya have selected a group of internationally recognized experts to address these needs and other critical challenges faced by the MPSOC designer. They focus on multiprocessor architectures, processors, operating systems, compilers, methodologies, and synthesis algorithms, and examine telecommunications and multimedia applications to consider design tradeoffs and design decisions.

*Examines several different architectures and the constraints imposed on them
*Discusses scheduling, real-time operating systems, and compilers
*Analyzes design trade-off and decisions in telecommunications and multimedia applications
