Low-Power Design of Nanometer FPGAs: Architecture and EDA (Systems on Silicon) By Hassan Hassan, Mohab Anis * Publisher: Morgan Kaufmann * Number Of Pages: 352 * Publication Date: 2009-10-12 * ISBN-10 / ASIN: 0123744385 * ISBN-13 / EAN: 9780123744388 Product Description: Field Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGAs) have become very popular as embedded components on computing platforms. An FPGA is a viable, reprogrammable design approach that provides a fast time-to-market alternative to Application Specific Integrated Circuits (ASICs). Since FPGA implementations can be customized to fit for any application, their versatility leads to performance gains, and enables reuse of expensive silicon. Although high performance can be achieved in FPGAs, their high levels of power consumption pose a critical design challenge. This book will be an invaluable reference for researchers and practicing engineers concerned with power-efficient, FPGA design. State-of-the-art power reduction techniques for FPGAs will be described and compared. These techniques will be applied at the circuit, architecture, and electronic design automation levels to describe both the dynamic and leakage power sources and enable strategies for codesign. * Design perspective on low-power FPGAs…low-power techniques presented at key FPGA design levels for circuits, architectures, and electronic design automation, form critical, “bridge” guidelines for codesign; Read more…
Read the story »Jude Deveraux books
She is the author of thirty-one New York Times bestsellers. Jude won readers’ hearts with the epic Velvet series, which revolves around the lives of the Montgomery family’s irresistible men. Jude’s early books are set largely in 15th- and 16th-century England, in which her fierce, impassioned protagonists find themselves in the midst of blood feuds and wars. Her heroines are equally scrappy — medieval Scarlett O’Haras who often have a low regard for the men who eventually win them over. They’re fighters, certainly, but they’re also beauties who are preoccupied with survival and family preservation. Jude has also stepped outside her milieu, with mixed results. Her James River trilogy (River Lady, Lost Lady, and Counterfeit Lady) is set mostly in post-Revolution America; the popular, softer-edged Twin of Fire/Twin of Ice moves to 19th-century Colorado and introduces another hunky-man clan, the Taggerts. Deveraux manages to evoke a strong and convincing atmosphere for each of her books, but her dialogue and characters are as familiar as a modern-day soap opera’s. “Historicals seem to be all I’m capable of,” Jude once said in an interview, referring to a now out-of-print attempt at contemporary fiction, 1982′s Casa Grande. “I don’t want to write family sagas or occult books, and I have no intention of again trying to ruin the contemporary market.” Still, Jude did later attempt modern-day romances, such as the lighthearted High Tide (her first murder caper), the contemporary fema Read more…

Auditory and Visual Sensations By Yoichi Ando * Publisher: Springer * Number Of Pages: 340 * Publication Date: 2009-10-06 * ISBN-10 / ASIN: 144190171X * ISBN-13 / EAN: 9781441901712 Product Description: The subject of the book is the grounding of architectural acoustics in psychophysics (perception, listener preferences) and neuroscience (auditory function, neural correlates of perception and preference). This is the first rational-scientific approach to designing performance spaces that is based on systematic psychoacoustical observations of spatial hearing and listener preferences. Observations of the neuronal correlates of auditory qualities and listener preferences ground the theory of listener preferences in the neurophysiology of the human brain. A correlation-based model of neuronal signal processing in the central auditory system is proposed. Observed psychological and neurophysiological commonalities between auditory and visual sensations and preference patterns are presented and discussed. This book thus spans the disciplines of physics, acoustics, psychology, neurophysiology, and music production, thereby blending science and art. Temporal and spatial sensations. Temporal auditory sensations include auditory qualities such as pitch, timbre, loudness, and duration, which are modeled using features extracted from the temporal autocorrelation function (ACF) of the sound. Neuronal responses related to these qualitie Read more…
