TITLE: TEXT ON EMBEDDED COMPUTING SYSTEMS DESIGN BY WOLF
"Computers as Components: Principles of Embedded Computing System
Design" by Prof. Wayne Wolf of Princeton University, ISBN: 1-
55860-541-X, is now available.
"Computers as Components" is the first book to teach this new
discipline. It unravels the complexity of these systems and the
tools and methods necessary for designing them. Researchers,
students, and savvy professionals, schooled in hardware or
software, will value the integrated engineering design approach
to this fast emerging field.
Content Highlights:
* Demonstrates concepts and techniques using two powerful real-
world processors as case studies throughout the book: the ARM
processor and the SHARC DSP (digital signal processor).
* Illustrates the major concepts of each chapter with real-world
design examples such as software modems, telephone answering
machines, and video accelerators.
* Teaches the basics of UML (Unified Modeling Language) and
applies it throughout the text to help you visualize stages in
the design process.
* Illustrates real-time operating systems using the POSIX real-
time extensions and Linux.
* Describes performance analysis and optimization of embedded
software, including the effects of caches.
* Includes two CD-ROMs with evaluation software: One contains the
ARM Developer Suite; the other contains VisualDSP for the SHARC
DSP family of processors.
