This book covers technologies, applications, tools, languages, procedures, advantages, and disadvantages of reconfigurable supercomputing using Field Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGAs). The target audience is the community of users of High Performance Computers (HPC) who may benefit from porting their applications into a reconfigurable...

The authors present methods to reduce computer energy consumption by means of a better usage of a specific set of resources and maximizing the efficiency of the running applications. The processor frequency is adjusted to the needs of the running job, leading to a power drop by a factor of 2 and doubling battery life time of laptops. It is...

The "M·CORE" family of microprocessors is the latest 32-bit integrated circuit from Motorola designed to be a multi-purpose "micro-controller." The processor architecture has been designed for high performance and cost-sensitive embedded control applications with particular emphasis on reduced power consumption....

The only thing standing between you and your writing is your word processor. Yeah, I know: It’s supposed to be helpful. Well, it tries. Computers can do only so much. But you, as a smart person, are capable of so much more. I’m guessing that’s why you’ve opened this book. Welcome to Word 2010 For Dummies, which takes...

Computer architecture is at a turning point. Radical changes occurred in the 1980s when the Reduced Instruction Set Computer (RISC) philosophy, spurred in good part by academic research, permeated the industry as a reaction to the Complex Instruction Set Computer (CISC) complexities. Today, three decades later, we have reached a point where...

Modern computing is no longer about devices but is all about providing services, a natural progression that both consumers and enterprises are eager to embrace. As it can deliver those services, efficiently and with quality, at compelling price levels, cloud computing is with us to stay. Ubiquitously and quite definitively, cloud...

This book was the first to bring essential knowledge on embedded systems technology and techniques under a single cover. This second edition has been updated to the state-of-the-art by reworking and expanding performance analysis with more examples and exercises, and coverage of electronic systems now focuses on the latest applications....

After 40 years of practice and theory in compiler construction and 30 years of experience and teaching in software engineering we still observe that safetycritical high-level language programs are certified only together with the corresponding machine code. The reason is that certification institutions do not trust any compiler. And they are...
