Welcome to FreeBSD Device Drivers! The goal of this book is to help you improve your understanding of device drivers under FreeBSD. By the time you finish this book, you should be able to build, configure, and manage your own FreeBSD device drivers.
This book covers FreeBSD version 8, the version recommended for production...
Storage Area Networks (SANs) are now recognized as the preferred solution for fulfilling institutions' and enterprises' critical data-storage needs. Whether powered by Fibre Channel or TCP/IP and Gigabit Ethernet technology, SANs far exceed the capabilities of traditional storage access methods. SANs are quickly becoming the solution of choice...
Although computer systems employ a range of performance-improving techniques,
intense effort to improve present performance and to develop completely new types
of computer systems with this improved performance continues. Many design
techniques involve the use of parallelism, in which more than one operation is
performed...
Using FreeRTOS and libopencm3 instead of the Arduino software environment, this book will help you develop multi-tasking applications that go beyond Arduino norms. In addition to the usual peripherals found in the typical Arduino device, the STM32 device includes a USB controller, RTC (Real Time Clock), DMA (Direct Memory Access...
An Enterprise Service Bus (ESB) is an architectural pattern and a key enabler in implementing the infrastructure for a service-oriented architecture (SOA). The BizTalk ESB Toolkit is a collection of tools and libraries that extend the BizTalk Server capabilities of supporting a loosely coupled and dynamic messaging architecture. It functions...
The real-world, applied research nature of this book - from the viewpoints of girls themselves - adds a nuanced perspective not yet explored in girls' studies....the multidisciplinary nature of the anthology will appeal to sociology, psychology, anthropology, history, religion, and education scholars as well as to women's and girl's studies...
Build embedded microprocessor-based systems from the ground up. Develop an integrated understanding of hardware and software issues by exploring the interaction of the firmware and hardware during the first critical few seconds after the microprocessor is powered up. By focusing on these crucial junctures, where software meets hardware, you...
The peripheral component interconnect (PCI) bus is the dominant bus system used to connect the different elements making up today's high-performance computer systems. Different PCI implementations have also been developed for such applications as telecommunications and embedded computing. If an application calls for high speed, high reliability,...
Design of microprocessor and/or multimicroprocessor systems represents a continuous struggle; success (if achieved) lasts infinitesimally long and disappears forever, unless a new struggle (with unpredictable results) starts immediately. In other words, it is a continuous sur-vival process, which is the main motto of this book.
William Stallings' book provides comprehensive and completely up-to-date coverage of computer organization and architecture including memory, I/O, and parallel systems. The text covers leading-edge areas, including superscalar design, IA-64 design features, and parallel processor organization trends. It meets students' needs by addressing both the...
Introductory Guide to WebSphere Business Integration from IBM
Using WebSphere Business Integration (WBI) technology, you can build an enterprise-wide Business Integration (BI) infrastructure that makes it easier to connect any business resources and functions, so you can adapt more...
