高性能嵌入式计算（英文版）

在过去的20年中，虽然嵌入式系统仍是许多消费电子设备、工业设备和军方设备中不可见的部分，但它作为一个整体已经脱颖而出。如今，嵌入式计算不再限于简单设备控制，它已经能以高实时处理率和低能耗来执行复杂的处理任务。
本书采用一种独特的量化方法来论述现代嵌入式计算系统的设计，书中根据性能、功率和能量消耗以及成本应达到的量化目标描述了在设计中亟待解决的问题。贯穿全书的实际应用使得本书对专业人员、研究人员和学生来说都是及时且非常有价值的资源。
　　本书特色
● 包含大量现实世界中嵌入式计算应用（比如移动电话、打印机和数字电视等）和体系结构（比如TI C5000系列DSP、Freescale Starcore处理器和TI OMAP多处理器等）的实例。
● 涵盖嵌入式计算领域的高级主题，比如可配置处理器、针对实时和功率损耗的软件优化、异构多处理器以及嵌入式中间件。
● 深入论述了网络、可重构系统、软硬件协同设计、安全性以及程序分析。

Wayne Wolf，拥有斯坦福大学电子工程博士学位，现为普林斯顿大学电子工程教授。在1989年加入普林斯顿大学之前，他曾在AT&T贝尔实验室工作。他是IEEE和ACM会员、IEEE计算机协会核心成员以及ASEE和SPI成员。Wolf教授于2003年获得了ASEE Frederick E.Terman奖，于2006年获得了IEEE电路与系统教育奖。除本书外，他还著有《嵌入式计算机系统设计原理》和《基于FPGA的系统设计》等书。
