| memory hierarchy diagram: Advanced Memory Optimization Techniques for Low-Power Embedded Processors Manish Verma, Peter Marwedel, 2007-06-20 In a relatively short span of time, computers have evolved from huge mainframes to small and elegant desktop computers, and now to low-power, ultra-portable handheld devices.

Now, a processor present in an electric shaver easily outperforms the early mainframe computers. The miniaturization is largely due to the efforts of engineers and scientists that made the expeditious progress in the microelectronic technologies possible. According to Moore’s Law [90], the advances in technology allow us to double the number of transistors on a single silicon chip every 18 months. This has lead to an exponential increase in the number of transistors on a chip, from 2,300 in an Intel 4004 to 42 millions in Intel Itanium processor [55]. Moore’s Law has withstood for 40 years and is predicted to remain valid for at least another decade [91].

This book guides students via simple, elegant and explicit presentation that blends theory logically and rigorously with the practical aspects bearing on computer science and information technology. The book not only keeps abreast of all the chapterwise information generally asked in the examinations but also proffers felicitous tips in the furtherance of problem-solving technique. Various cardinal landmarks pertaining to the subject such as theory of computation, compiler design, digital logic design, computer organisation and architecture, computer networks, database management system, operating system, web technology, software engineering, C programming, data structure, design and analysis of algorithms along with general aptitude verbal ability, non-verbal aptitude, basic mathematics and discrete mathematics are now under a single umbrella. HIGHLIGHTS OF THE BOOK • Systematic discussion of concepts endowed with ample illustrations • Adequate study material suffused with pointwise style to enhance learning ability • Notes are incorporated at several places giving additional information on the key concepts • Inclusion of solved practice exercises for verbal and numerical aptitude to guide the students from practice and examination point of view • Points to ponder are provided in between for a quick recap before examination • Prodigious objective-type questions based on the GATE examination from 1987 to 2014 along with in-depth explanation for each solution from stem to stern • Every solution lasts with a reference, thus providing a scope for further study • Two sample papers for GATE 2015 are incorporated along with answer keys WHAT THE REVIEWERS SAY “Professor Dasaradh has significantly prepared each and every solution of the questions appeared in GATE and other competitive examinations and many individuals from the community have devoted their time to proofread and improve the quality of the solutions so that they become very lucid for the reader. I personally find this book very useful and only one of its kind in the market because this book gives complete analysis of the chapterwise questions based on the previous years’ examination. Moreover, all solutions are fully explained, with a reference to the concerned book given after each solution. It definitely helps in the elimination of redundant topics which are not important from examination point of view. So, the students will be able to reduce the volume of text matter to be studied. Besides, solutions are presented in lucid and understandable language for an average student.” —Dr. T. Venugopal, Associate Professor, Department of CSE, JNTUH, Jagtial “Overall, I think this book represents an extremely valuable and unique contribution to the competitive field because it captures a wealth of GATE/PGECET examination’s preparation experience in a compact and reusable form. This book is certainly one that I shall turn into a regular practice for all entrance examinations’ preparation guides. This book will change the way of preparation for all competitive examinations.” —Professor L.V.N. Prasad, CEO, Vardhaman College of Engineering, Hyderabad “I began to wish that someone would compile all the important abstracting information into one reference, as the need for a single reference book for aspirants had become even more apparent. I have been thinking about this project for several years, as I have conducted many workshops and training programs. This book is full of terms, phrases, examples and other key information as well as guidelines that will be helpful not only for the students or the young engineers but also for the instructors.” —Professor R.

| memory hierarchy diagram: Parallel MATLAB for Multicore and Multinode Computers Jeremy Kepner, 2009-01-01 Parallel MATLAB for Multicore and Multinode Computers is the first book on parallel MATLAB and the first parallel computing book focused on the design, code, debug, and test techniques required to quickly produce well-performing parallel programs. MATLAB is currently the dominant language of technical computing with one million users worldwide, many of whom can benefit from the increased power offered by inexpensive multicore and multinode parallel computers. MATLAB is an ideal environment for learning about parallel computing, allowing the user to focus on parallel algorithms instead of the details of implementation. This book covers more parallel algorithms and parallel programming models than any other parallel programming book due to the succinctness of MATLAB and presents a hands-on approach with numerous example programs. Wherever possible, the examples are drawn from widely known and well-documented parallel benchmark codes representative of many real applications. |
