Computer Systems, Second Edition provides students with a broad understanding of all levels of computer systems. It emphasizes computer science topics that are related to, but not usually included in, the treatment of hardware and its associated software. The topics are presented through a unified concept of computer systems. The book allows...
Thanks to increasing power consumption and component density, localized "hot spots" are becoming a serious challenge in IC (integrated circuit) chip design - so serious, in fact, that Intel recently had to yank a circuit because it was literally burning. For IC engineers grappling with high power dissipation and thermal issues, new...
An essential reference for optical sensor system design
This is the first text to present an integrated view of the optical and mathematical analysis tools necessary to understand computational optical system design. It presents the foundations of computational optical sensor design with a focus entirely on digital imaging and spectroscopy. It...
