Multi-Core Embedded Systems

Multi-Core Embedded Systems

Details a real-world product that applies a cutting-edge multi-core architectureIncreasingly demanding modern applications—such as those used in telecommunications networking and real-time processing of audio video and multimedia streams—require multiple processors to achieve computational performance at the rate of a few giga-operations per second. This necessity for speed and manageable power consumption makes it likely that the next generation of embedded processing systems will include hundreds of cores while being increasingly programmable blending processors and configurable hardware in a power-efficient manner. Multi-Core Embedded Systems presents a variety of perspectives that elucidate the technical challenges associated with such increased integration of homogeneous (processors) and heterogeneous multiple cores. It offers an analysis that industry engineers and professionals will need to understand the physical details of both software and hardware in embedded architectures as well as their limitations and potential for future growth. Discusses the available programming models spread across different abstraction levelsThe book begins with an overview of the evolution of multiprocessor architectures for embedded applications and discusses techniques for autonomous power management of system-level parameters. It addresses the use of existing open-source (and free) tools originating from several application domains—such as traffic modeling graph theory parallel computing and network simulation. In addition the authors cover other important topics associated with multi-core embedded systems such as:Architectures and interconnectsEmbedded design methodologiesMapping of applications

Efficiency Issues in Transitional Economies Application to Hungary

Efficiency Issues in Transitional Economies Application to Hungary

Published in 1999 this text uses a number of approaches to measure the performance of firms in the transition economies of Central Eastern Europe during the early stages of reform. There is considerable controversy about the level of productivity in this period as is evident by contradictory evidence quoted in the literature and a high degree of inconsistency in published national statistics. Indeed the disagreement extends to the measurement approach and the results for this group of countries. Particularly difficult is any analysis at the firm level as data is inconsistent incomplete and based on now out-dated accounting systems. The information used in this book is a panel data set of 64 items collected from 1000 firms across 25 industry sectors in Hungary. Productive efficiency is measured and the reasons for poor performance are discussed. It was found that industrial sectors differ in their average performance levels and in the factors most likely to account for this. Finally recommendations are developed to help to reverse the decline in productivity. | Efficiency Issues in Transitional Economies Application to Hungary

Protocols for Multislice Helical Computed Tomography The Fundamentals

Protocols for Multislice Helical Computed Tomography The Fundamentals

Despite the expected decline in the mid-1970s in the use of computed tomography (CT) following the excitement of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) CT has confounded its detractors and remains the imaging modality of choice particularly for the chest and abdomen. Spiral/helical CT with the development of 64-multislice variant has revolutionized diagnostic imaging: image acquistion of large body volumes are obtained in short times during a single-breath hold. Scanning protocols without contrast enhancement are not a challenge; however with intravenous contrast agents critical choices are made and bad choices inevitably produce bad scans. This handy guide provides the reader with a simple introduction to the essential ideas involved and a practical guide to the implementation of rational scanning protocols for multislice spiral instruments. Written by Peter Dawson a well-respected figure in computed tomography and radiology and a world expert on contrast agents Scanning Protocols for Multislice Helical Computed Tomography is an essential guide for all those working with CT as well as those in training. | Protocols for Multislice Helical Computed Tomography The Fundamentals

Syrian Influences in the Roman Empire to AD 300

Syrian Influences in the Roman Empire to AD 300

The study of Syria as a Roman province has been neglected by comparison with equivalent geographical regions such as Italy Egypt Greece and even Gaul. It was however one of the economic powerhouses of the empire from its annexation until after the empire’s dissolution. As such it clearly deserves some particular consideration but at the same time it was a major contributor to the military strength of the empire notably in the form of the recruitment of auxiliary regiments several dozens of which were formed from Syrians. Many pagan gods such as Jupiter Dolichenus and Jupiter Heliopolitanus Dea Syra and also Judaism originated in Syria and reached the far bounds of the empire. This book is a consideration based on original sources of the means by which Syrians whose country was only annexed to the empire in 64 BC saw their influence penetrate into all levels of society from private soldiers and ordinary citizens to priests and to imperial families. | Syrian Influences in the Roman Empire to AD 300

Vision and Strategy in Indian Politics Jawaharlal Nehru’s Policy Choices and the Designing of Political Institutions

Vision and Strategy in Indian Politics Jawaharlal Nehru’s Policy Choices and the Designing of Political Institutions

The 1950s in India were a crucial transition phase where the legacy and institutions of British rule had to be transformed to fit the needs of a post-colonial state. This period is closely associated with India’s first Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru (1947 – 64). Selecting three key policies closely associated with him the book traces the political origins of the Panchasheela Agreement with China in 1954 the Hindu Code Bills of 1955 and 1956 and the founding of the Planning Commission in 1950. Each provides a window into the compulsions of Indian domestic politics at the time as well as the parameters of parliamentary debate. The book goes on to discuss how these policies correspond to the pillars of Nehru’s vision for a modern independent India that encapsulated socialism nonalignment and secularism and assesses their long-run impact in Indian politics. With a growing recognition of the resilience of India’s political arrangements the analysis is particularly relevant to those interested in the politics of transition and modernisation and contributes to studies on Political Institutions and South Asian Politics. | Vision and Strategy in Indian Politics Jawaharlal Nehru’s Policy Choices and the Designing of Political Institutions
