Books about Configurable from Amazon.com

This authoritative, leading-edge resource gives you a comprehensive overview of sample rate conversion (SRC) and its applications in software configurable radios. The book helps you understand the limits of feasible systems for sample rate conversion, as well as the limits of interpolation. You get sound advice on selecting the appropriate types of SRC for specific applications, and assistance in handling the trade-off between hardware complexity and the clock rate of a system.

From an introduction to software radio and a refresher on the fundamentals of sampling and sample rate conversion, to discussions on block signal processing and well-known and novel structures for sample rate conversion, the book offers you practical guidance that enables you to quickly find solutions for your challenging projects in the field. This first-of-its-kind reference concludes with a list of questions that – when answered – helps to design a system for sample rate conversion. Over 890 equations and 90 illustrations support key topics throughout the book..

This volume is unique: the first comprehensive exposition of the exciting new field of Reconfigurable Computing with FPGAs. By mapping algorithms directly into programmable logic, FPGA accelerators offer and deliver 10X-100X performance increases over microprocessors for a large range of application domains. Reconfigurable computing is found in virtually every computing milieu, from satellites to supercomputers. By loading new hardware circuits onto the FPGA, or even modifying parts of the circuit during operation, reconfigurable computers achieve performance rivaling application-specific integrated circuits (ASICs), yet are built from commodity parts.

The authors are among the originators of Reconfigurable Computing and are recognized leaders in the field. Drawing on their deep familiarity with RC, they survey every aspect of the field, from FPGA device architecture, reconfigurable systems architectures, programming languages and compilation tools to the application domains of signal processing, image processing, network security, bioinformatics, and supercomputing. Although citations to original sources are abundant, nevertheless, the book is accessible to the science and technology practitioner and student.

Reconfigurable Computing is of especially topical to computer science and engineering researchers as well as professionals in high performance computing and embedded computing.

This book outlines a new, essential methodology for developing SoC hardware and software using configurable, extensible processor technology as a unifying theme. In addition to laying out a dramatically new SOC design methodology, the book introduces the concepts of processor configuration, extension, hardware/software co-generation and multiple processor partitioning and communication. It uses real-world examples extensively, both in the form of case studies about architecture decisions and in very short examples that communicate the flavor and the power of these methods. No other book discusses how to use multiple processors on a single chip to speed the chip design process and achieve faster performance. All other books that cover SoC design assume the traditional 1980's-style approach to system design that employs one central processor or, at most, one processor and a co-processor such as a digital signal processor (DSP) on a chip. Other books assume that if there are parts of the design that can't be run fast enough on the main system processor, then the designer must hand-code those parts of the design in hardware-description language (HDL) such as Verilog or VHDL. That was state-of-the-art thinking for chip design in the early 1990s, but as chip complexity increased and configurable, embedded processor cores were introduced and established, SoCs with multiple processors are proving to be an effective alternative..

Description:
E-marketplaces constitute a major enabler of B2B and B2C e-commerce activities. This paper proposes a framework for one of the central activities of e-marketplaces: matchmaking of trading intentions lodged by market participants. The framework identifies a core set of concepts and functions that are common to all types of marketplaces and can serve as the basis for describing the distinct styles of matchmaking employed within various market mechanisms. A prototype implementation of the framework based on Web services technology is presented, illustrating its ability to be dynamically configured to meet specific market needs and its potential to serve as a foundation for more fully fledged e-marketplace frameworks. .

Successfully Validating ERP Systems, intends to help readers understand the reasons why the validation of Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) systems often takes longer than expected, why the implementation often costs more than originally planned and why, in some cases, the validation fails to meet regulatory expectations. This book sets out with the specific intention of recognizing and discussing the real world human and contractual issues that leads to unsuccessful validation..
