Digital VLSI Design with Verilog: A Textbook from Silicon by John Michael Williams

By John Michael Williams

This ebook is dependent as a step by step process examine alongside the traces of a VLSI built-in circuit layout venture. the total Verilog language is gifted, from the fundamentals to every thing beneficial for synthesis of a complete 70,000 transistor, full-duplex serializer-deserializer, together with synthesizable PLLs. the writer contains every thing an engineer wishes for in-depth realizing of the Verilog language: Syntax, synthesis semantics, simulation and try. whole ideas for the 27 labs are supplied within the downloadable documents that accompany the ebook. For readers with entry to acceptable digital layout instruments, all strategies could be built, simulated, and synthesized as defined within the e-book. A partial record of layout subject matters contains layout partitioning, hierarchy decomposition, secure coding types, again annotation, wrapper modules, concurrency, race stipulations, assertion-based verification, clock synchronization, and layout for try. A concluding presentation of specified subject matters contains process Verilog and Verilog-AMS.

Designing TSVs for 3D Integrated Circuits by Nauman Khan

By Nauman Khan

This booklet explores the demanding situations and offers most sensible thoughts for designing Through-Silicon Vias (TSVs) for 3D built-in circuits. It describes a singular strategy to mitigate TSV-induced noise, the GND Plug, that's more suitable to others tailored from 2-D planar applied sciences, resembling a bottom floor aircraft and standard substrate contacts. The booklet additionally investigates, within the type of a comparative examine, the impression of TSV dimension and granularity, spacing of C4 connectors, off-chip energy supply community, shared and committed TSVs, and coaxial TSVs at the caliber of energy supply in 3-D ICs. The authors offer special most sensible layout practices for designing three-D energy supply networks. considering that TSVs occupy silicon real-estate and effect machine density, this publication presents 4 iterative algorithms to reduce the variety of TSVs in an influence supply community. in contrast to different latest tools, those algorithms might be utilized in early layout phases while purely practical block- point behaviors and a floorplan can be found. ultimately, the authors discover using Carbon Nanotubes for energy grid layout as a futuristic substitute to Copper.

Computer Architecture Single and Parallel Systems by Mehdi R. Zargham

By Mehdi R. Zargham

This article takes a two-fold method: to supply a beginning for figuring out and comparing the layout rules integrated in smooth desktops; and to give simple suggestions for designing parallel platforms and parallel algorithms. In pursuit of those goals, the writer organizes and hyperlinks a extensive spectrum of similar issues in either a scientific and reader-friendly demeanour. The ebook covers themes similar to VHDL, multiprocessors and neural networks, and contours numerous case reviews that target the structure of a number of very important new microprocessors, corresponding to Motorola 88110, Intel Pentium, Alpha AXP and tool laptop. Numerical examples, illustrations and over four hundred figures are integrated alongside the best way.

Embedded Controller FORTH: For the 8051 Family by William H. Payne

By William H. Payne

The aim of this booklet is to offer the know-how requied to boost and software program for embedded controller structures at a fragment of the price of conventional tools. integrated within the e-book are schematics of 8051 kin improvement platforms (single board and bussed 8051 microcontroller). resource code for either the 8086 and 805 relatives FORTH working structures is released within the e-book. Binary photographs of the opeating platforms might be generated from teh resource code utilizing the metacompiler additionally inside the e-book. The e-book should be visible as a "toolbox" includingg all of the priceless and software program details for use in developing 8051-based controller systems.

Real-Time Embedded Multithreading Using ThreadX and MIPS by Edward L. Lamie

By Edward L. Lamie

Real-Time Embedded Multithreading comprises the basics of constructing real-time working structures and multithreading with the entire new performance of ThreadX model five. This MIPS version covers the entire new ThreadX five gains together with Real-Time Event-Chaining, Run-Time functionality Metrics, and Run-Time Statck research as distinct for MIPS. ThreadX has been deployed in nearly 500 million units world wide together with mobile phones, electronic cameras, and laser printers. basic strategies and terminology are designated besides challenge fixing of universal pitfalls. The good points and companies of ThreadX are reviewed. The booklet is know-how agnostic and appropriate to all kinds of microprocessors. *A nice advent to real-time structures together with normal strategies and terminology*An insider stocks his wisdom on ThreadX five, a real-time working system*A constrained model of the ThreadX five software program is packaged on a CD-ROM with the bookto run all pattern initiatives and the case learn

Distributed Computer Systems. Theory and Practice by H. S. M. Zedan (Auth.)

By H. S. M. Zedan (Auth.)

Allotted platforms at the moment are in use in a variety of laptop functions and are being regarded as a "first candidate" each time a brand new program emerges. even supposing a few of the layout and implementation rules of such structures were generally understood and accredited there are nonetheless a few concerns that are topic to present examine and sure to steer the following new release of allotted computing structures. the belief at the back of compiling this publication used to be borne from a workshop which used to be held in July 1987 at Teesside Polytechnic. The workshop aimed to collect either theoreticians and practitioners within the box of allotted computing structures. It used to be determined to offer the ebook as a reference booklet instead of only a workshop complaints. The booklet is meant in the event you are already operating within the allotted computing box and in the event you have simply begun, for instance MSc and PhD scholars

Shared-Memory Synchronization by Michael L. Scott

By Michael L. Scott

Because the creation of time sharing within the Nineteen Sixties, designers of concurrent and parallel structures have had to synchronize the actions of threads of keep an eye on that proportion info buildings in reminiscence. in recent times, the learn of synchronization has won new urgency with the proliferation of multicore processors, on which even fairly uncomplicated user-level courses needs to usually run in parallel. This lecture deals a accomplished survey of shared-memory synchronization, with an emphasis on "systems-level" concerns. It contains adequate insurance of architectural information to appreciate correctness and function on sleek multicore machines, and enough assurance of higher-level matters to appreciate how synchronization is embedded in smooth programming languages. the first meant viewers is "systems programmers"—the authors of working platforms, library programs, language run-time structures, concurrent facts buildings, and server and software courses. a lot of the dialogue must also be of curiosity to software programmers who need to make strong use of the synchronization mechanisms to be had to them, and to computing device architects who are looking to comprehend the ramifications in their layout judgements on systems-level code. desk of Contents: creation / Architectural history / crucial conception / useful Spin Locks / Busy-wait Synchronization with stipulations / Read-mostly Atomicity / Synchronization and Scheduling / Nonblocking Algorithms / Transactional reminiscence / Author's Biography
