This book provides coverage of the Business and Technician Education council (BTEC) level NIII unit in Microprocessor Interfacing (syllabus U86/335). However, it can be regarded as a textbook in interfacing for a much wider range of studies. The text concentrates on the widely used 6502, Z80 and 6800/02 microprocessor families, details of which are contained in Heinemann's Checkbook Series, "Microelectronic Systems NII/NIII. Basic details of typical interfacing devices for each of these micropro...

On-Chip Current Sensors for Reliable, Secure, and Low-Power Integrated Circuits
by Rodrigo Possamai Bastos and Frank Sill Torres
This book provides readers with insight into an alternative approach for enhancing the reliability, security, and low power features of integrated circuit designs, related to transient faults, hardware Trojans, and power consumption. The authors explain how the addition of integrated sensors enables the detection of ionizing particles and how this information can be processed at a high layer. The discussion also includes a variety of applications, such as the detection of hardware Trojans and f...
This book discusses and compares several new trends that can be used to overcome Moore's law limitations, including Neuromorphic, Approximate, Parallel, In Memory, and Quantum Computing. The author shows how these paradigms are used to enhance computing capability as developers face the practical and physical limitations of scaling, while the demand for computing power keeps increasing. The discussion includes a state-of-the-art overview and the essential details of each of these paradigms.
Present day sophisticated, adaptive, and autonomous (to a certain degree) robotic technology is a radically new stimulus for the cognitive system of the human learner from the earliest to the oldest age. It deserves extensive, thorough, and systematic research based on novel frameworks for analysis, modelling, synthesis, and implementation of CPSs for social applications. Cyber-Physical Systems for Social Applications is a critical scholarly book that examines the latest empirical findings for d...
Machine Learning in VLSI Computer-Aided Design
This book provides readers with an up-to-date account of the use of machine learning frameworks, methodologies, algorithms and techniques in the context of computer-aided design (CAD) for very-large-scale integrated circuits (VLSI). Coverage includes the various machine learning methods used in lithography, physical design, yield prediction, post-silicon performance analysis, reliability and failure analysis, power and thermal analysis, analog design, logic synthesis, verification, and neuromorp...
This textbook provides a starter's guide to Verilog, to be used in conjunction with a one-semester course in Digital Systems Design, or on its own for readers who only need an introduction to the language. This book is designed to match the way the material is actually taught in the classroom. Topics are presented in a manner which builds foundational knowledge before moving onto advanced topics. The author has designed the presentation with learning goals and assessment at its core. Each secti...
Governance, Risk, and Compliance Handbook for Oracle Applications
by Nigel King and Adil Khan
The book is not organized by product, rather by the governance and risk assurance processes. A given product may be represented in multiple places within the book and a given process may contain multiple product references. To ensure that we keep ourselves grounded in real problems, the book is written as a journal of a fictional company establishing its governance processes. It will introduce managers and directors responsible for various aspects of the governance, risk and compliance problem a...
Enabling Technologies for Petaflops Computing (Scientific and Engineering Computation)
by Thomas Sterling, Paul C. Messina, and Paul H. Smith
Building a computer ten times more powerful than all the networked computing capability in the United States is the subject of this book by leading figures in the high performance computing community. It summarizes the near-term initiatives, including the technical and policy agendas for what could be a twenty-year effort to build a petaFLOP scale computer. (A FLOP -- Floating Point OPeration -- is a standard measure of computer performance and a PetaFLOP computer would perform a million billion...
Exact Design of Digital Microfluidic Biochips
by Oliver Keszocze, Robert Wille, and Rolf Drechsler
This book presents exact, that is minimal, solutions to individual steps in the design process for Digital Microfluidic Biochips (DMFBs), as well as a one-pass approach that combines all these steps in a single process. All of the approaches discussed are based on a formal model that can easily be extended to cope with further design problems. In addition to the exact methods, heuristic approaches are provided and the complexity classes of various design problems are determined. Presents ex...
Ageing of Integrated Circuits
This book provides comprehensive coverage of the latest research into integrated circuits' ageing, explaining the causes of this phenomenon, describing its effects on electronic systems, and providing mitigation techniques to build ageing-resilient circuits.
Get expert, pragmatic guidance on how to design and build smart client solutions that combine the benefits of traditional, rich-client applications with the manageability of thin clients. Software architects and developers will learn how to evaluate whether a smart client solution is appropriate for their client architecture, and get practical recommendations on how to deal with the design and technical challenges associated with building smart clients solutions using Microsoft(r) Windows(r) For...
The overall aim of this book is to gain an appreciation of the impact of computer architecture on software. The authors do not aim to teach assembler programming as yet another programming language. This is because very few applications need to be programmed in assembler, and therefore, few people program in assembler directly. Instead they focus on the programming concepts behind assembler language in general and the 68000 series in particular. What the reader should gain as a result of followi...

The newest results and latest developments in hybrid system models, formal methods for analysis and control, computational tools, a...
Computing with Memory for Energy-Efficient Robust Systems
by Somnath Paul and Swarup Bhunia
This book analyzes energy and reliability as major challenges faced by designers of computing frameworks in the nanometer technology regime. The authors describe the existing solutions to address these challenges and then reveal a new reconfigurable computing platform, which leverages high-density nanoscale memory for both data storage and computation to maximize the energy-efficiency and reliability. The energy and reliability benefits of this new paradigm are illustrated and the design challe...
Risk and Reliability Appraisal on Microcomputers
by G. Singh and G. Kiangi
This book explores the intersections of gender, religion and migration within the context of post-independent Zimbabwe, with a specific focus on how gender disparities impact economic development. By demonstrating how these interconnections impact women’s and girls’ lived realities, the book addresses the need for gender equity, gender inclusion and gender mainstreaming in both religious and societal institutions. The book assesses the gender and migration nexus in Zimbabwe and examines the impa...
