Embedded Systems: Hardware, Design, and Implementation

Description

Covers the significant embedded computing technologies?highlighting their applications in wireless communication and computing powerAn embedded system is a computer system designed for specific control functions within a larger system?often with real-time computing constraints. It is embedded as part of a complete device often including hardware and mechanical parts. Presented in three parts, Embedded Systems: Hardware, Design, and Implementation provides readers with an immersive introduction to this rapidly growing segment of the computer industry. Acknowledging the fact that embedded systems control many of today's most common devices such as smart phones, PC tablets, as well as hardware embedded in cars, TVs, and even refrigerators and heating systems, the book starts with a basic introduction to embedded computing systems. It hones in on system-on-a-chip (SoC), multiprocessor system-on-chip (MPSoC), and network-on-chip (NoC). It then covers on-chip integration of software and custom hardware accelerators, as well as fabric flexibility, custom architectures, and the multiple I/O standards that facilitate PCB integration. Next, it focuses on the technologies associated with embedded computing systems, going over the basics of field-programmable gate array (FPGA), digital signal processing (DSP) and application-specific integrated circuit (ASIC) technology, architectural support for on-chip integration of custom accelerators with processors, and O/S support for these systems. Finally, it offers full details on architecture, testability, and computer-aided design (CAD) support for embedded systems, soft processors, heterogeneous resources, and on-chip storage before concluding with coverage of software support?in particular, O/S Linux. Embedded Systems: Hardware, Design, and Implementation is an ideal book for design engineers looking to optimize and reduce the size and cost of embedded system products and increase their reliability and performance.Content: Chapter 1 Low Power Multicore Processors for Embedded Systems (pages 1–60): Fumio ArakawaChapter 2 Special?Purpose Hardware for Computational Biology (pages 61–83): Siddharth SrinivasanChapter 3 Embedded GPU Design (pages 85–106): Byeong?Gyu Nam and Hoi?Jun YooChapter 4 Low?Cost VLSI Architecture for Random Block?Based Access of Pixels in Modern Image Sensors (pages 107–126): Tareq Hasan Khan and Khan WahidChapter 5 Embedded Computing Systems on FPGAs (pages 127–138): Lesley ShannonChapter 6 FPGA?Based Emulation Support for Design Space Exploration (pages 139–168): Paolo Meloni, Simone Secchi and Luigi RaffoChapter 7 FPGA Coprocessing Solution for Real?Time Protein Identification Using Tandem Mass Spectrometry (pages 169–184): Daniel Coca, Istvan Bogdan and Robert J.
