The editors and writers High Performance Embedded Computing Handbook: A Systems Perspective has been a significant contributor to this field, and the principles and techniques presented in the handbook is strengthened by the examples of their work. The chapters cover the system components found in today's HPEC systems? By handling the design trade-offs, implementation options, and trading techniques, and then reinforce the concept with examples of specific HPEC system. Discussion includes: the key subsystems and components of the characteristics of high performance computing algorithms and embedded processor technology applications Front-end real-time such as the conversion of analog-to-digital, application-specific integrated circuits, field programmable gate arrays, and intellectual property based design? Programmable HPEC systems technology, including interconnection fabrics, parallel and distributed processing, performance metrics and software architecture, and automatic code parallelization and optimization of complex examples HPEC systems representative of actual prototype development application examples, including radar, communications, electro-optical, and sonar applications This handbook has been prepared about the canonical framework that helps readers navigate through the chapters, and concludes with a discussion about future trends in HPEC systems.
