New design architectures in computer systems have surpassed industry expectations. Limits, which were once thought of as fundamental, have now been broken.  Meer

After nearly six years as the field's leading reference, the second edition of this award-winning handbook reemerges with completely updated content and a brand new format.  Meer

In response to tremendous growth and new technologies in the semiconductor industry, this volume is organized into five, information-rich sections. Digital Design and Fabrication surveys the latest advances in computer architecture and design as well as the technologies used to manufacture and test them.  Meer

Rapid advances in recording materials, read/write heads, and mechanical designs over the last 15 years have led to the need for more complicated signal processing, coding, and modulation algorithms for the hard disk drive "read channel.  Meer

Digital image sequences (including digital video) are increasingly common and important components in technical applications ranging from medical imaging and multimedia communications to autonomous vehicle navigation.  Meer

Which came first, the system or the chip? While integrated circuits enable technology for the modern information age, computing, communication, and network chips fuel it.  Meer

The power consumption of integrated circuits is one of the most problematic considerations affecting the design of high-performance chips and portable devices.  Meer
