Software Development for Parallel and Multi-Core Processing
The embedded software industry wants microprocessors with increased computing functionality that maintains or reduces space, weight, and power (SWaP). Single core processors were the key embedded industry solution between 1980 and 2000 when large performance increases were being achieved on a yearly basis and were fulfilling the prophecy of Moore's Law. Moore's Law states that "the number of transistors that can be placed inexpensively on an integrated circuit doubles approximately every two years." With the increased transistors, came microprocessors with greater computing throughput while space, weight and power were decreasing. However, this 'free lunch' did not last forever. The additional power required for greater performance improvements became too great starting in 2000. Hence, single core microprocessors are no longer an optimal solution.
Practical FIR Filter Design in MATLAB
This tutorial white-paper illustrates practical aspects of FIR filter design and fixed-point implementation along with the algorithms available in the Filter Design Toolbox and the Signal Processing Toolbox for this purpose. The emphasis is mostly on lowpass filters, but many of the results apply to other filter types as well. The tutorial focuses on practical aspects of filter design and implementation, and on the advantages and disadvantages of the different design algorithms. The theory behind the design algorithms is avoided except when needed to motivate them.
Embedded Systems – Theory and Design Methodology
This book addresses a wide spectrum of research topics on embedded systems, including basic researches, theoretical studies, and practical work.
