The ARM architecture is the industry's leading 16/32-bit embedded RISC processor solution. ARM Powered microprocessors are being routinely designed into a wider range of products than any other 32-bit processor. This wide applicability is made possible by the ARM architecture, resulting in optimal system solutions at the crossroads of high...
The Internet of Things is now being taken up by tech corporations but this fantastic book brings you the DIY approach to home automation using BeagleBone. From dimming the lights to opening the garage door -- it's all here.
Overview
Practical approach to home automation using BeagleBone; starting from...
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...
A one-stop source of information covering everything you’ll need to know in order to pass the CISSP examination
The CISSP Prep Guide
From stolen intellectual proprietary and denial of service attacks to unauthorized use of critical resources and computer viruses, e-business companies face numerous threats each day that can...
The observation by Gordon Moore in 1965 (now universally referred to as Moore’s law) that the number of transistors on an integrated circuit would double every couple of years has become a beacon that continues to drive the electronics industry. Integrated circuits have grown exponentially from the 30-transistor devices of 1965 to...
* Artificial vision system that uses a CCD camera to track and follow brightly colored objects * Bi-pedal robots that walk upright * Functional robotic arm * Easily programmed behavior-based robots * Complete parts...
The integrated circuit with each new generation has been characterized by increasing
functionality. In the 1980’s Very Large Scale Integrated Circuits (VLSIC) began to
emerge with transistor counts approaching one million plus per chip! The IC package
quickly became more than a “chip carrier”. Now the packaging...
Continued advances in information technologies are enabling a growing number of physical devices to be imbued with computingand communications capabilities. Aircraft, cars, household appliances, cellular telephones, and health monitoring devices all contain microprocessors that are being linked with other information processing devices. Such...
Parallel and distributed computing is one of the foremost technologies for shaping future research and development activities in academia and industry. Hyperthreading in Intel processors, hypertransport links in next generation AMD processors, multicore silicon in today’s high-end microprocessors, and emerging cluster and grid...
We are entering the golden age of GPU computing. Since the introduction of CUDA in 2007, more
than 100 million computers with CUDA-capable GPUs have been shipped to end users. Unlike the
previous GPGPU shader programming models, CUDA supports parallel programming in C. From my
own experience in teaching CUDA programming, C programmers...
This book is the first to document and teach important information about the verification technique known as hardware/software co-verification. Traditional embedded system design has evolved into single chip designs that are pushing past 1M logic gates and headed toward 10M gates. In this era of SoC design, chips now include microprocessors and...
Authors Jim Jeffers and James Reinders spent two years helping educate customers about the prototype and pre-production hardware before Intel introduced the first Intel Xeon Phi coprocessor. They have distilled their own experiences coupled with insights from many expert customers, Intel Field Engineers, Application Engineers and Technical...
