Modern computer architectures designed with high-performance microprocessors offer tremendous potential gains in performance over previous designs. Yet their very complexity makes it increasingly difficult to produce efficient code and to realize their full potential. This landmark text from two leaders in the field focuses on the pivotal role...
IntelЮ Integrated Performance Primitives (IntelЮ IPP) is a software library for application developers that increases performance from Intel's latest microprocessors while providing time-to-market advantages and reducing the cost of development. Intel IPP provides access to advanced processor features without having to...
A practical introduction to writing synthesizable Verilog code
Rapid change in IC chip complexity and the pressure to design more complex IC chips at a faster pace has forced design engineers to find a more efficient and productive method to create schematics with large amounts of logic gates. This has led to the development of Verilog; one of...
As a graduate student at Ohio State in the mid-1970s, I inherited a unique computer
vision laboratory from the doctoral research of previous students. They had
designed and built an early frame-grabber to deliver digitized color video from a
(very large) electronic video camera on a tripod to a mini-computer (sic) with a...
A practical approach to nano-CMOS circuit design and implementation
The fast pace of new technology and the challenges of nano-scaling are bringing together the once-separate disciplines of circuit design, technology device physics, and physical implementation. A good understanding of the underlying physical constraints of device, interconnect,...
This is a book about designing computer hardware and specifically about designing small machines for embedded applications. It is intentionally hardware specific. There are plenty of books out there on writing code for embedded systems (such as Michael Barr's excellent Programming Embedded Systems in C and C++, another...
More than five years have passed since Idea Group Publishing (IGP) published my first edited book on IT standards and standardisation. Back then, this was a fairly arcane topic, discussed in only a comparably small number of papers, in very few books, and at even fewer conferences.
Luckily, this situation is improving. More and more...

The first and only guide to one of today’s most important new cryptography algorithms The Twofish Encryption Algorithm A symmetric block cipher that accepts keys of any length, up to 256 bits, Twofish is among the new encryption algorithms being considered by the National Institute of Science and Technology (NIST) as a replacement for the DES...
Are you familiar with the IEEE floating point arithmetic standard? Would you like to understand it better? This book gives a broad overview of numerical computing, in a historical context, with a special focus on the IEEE standard for binary floating point arithmetic. Key ideas are developed step by step, taking the reader from floating point...
