If memory hierarchy is stopping your microprocessor from performing at the highest level it should be, then this book will show how to resolve that problem. This book provides the reader with everything they need to know about the logical design and operation, physical design and operation, performance characteristics and resulting design trade-offs, and the energy consumption of modern memory hierarchies. You learn how to tackle the challenging optimization problems that result from the side-effects that can appear at any point in the entire hierarchy. As a result you will be able to design and emulate the entire memory hierarchy. As a reference, this book is targeted toward both academics and practicing engineers in microarchitecture and computer system design, embedded system design, and low power design.

Designer’s Guide to VHDL (3rd Edition)
VHDL, the IEEE standard hardware description language for describing digital electronic systems, allows engineers to describe the structure and specify the function of a digital system as well as simulate and test it before manufacturing. In addition, designers use VHDL to synthesize a more detailed structure of the design, freeing them to concentrate on more strategic design decisions and reduce time to market. Adopted by designers around the world, the VHDL family-of-standards have recently been revised to address a range of issues, including portability across synthesis tools. This best-selling comprehensive tutorial for the language and authoritative reference on its use in hardware design at all levels, from system to gates, has been revised to reflect the new IEEE standard, VHDL-2001. The author presents the entire description language and builds a modeling methodology based on successful software engineering techniques. This second edition updates the first, retaining the author’s unique ability to teach this complex subject to a broad audience of students and practicing professionals.

The Switch
From the telegraph to the touchscreen, how the
development of binary switching transformed everyday life and
changed the shape of human agency
The Switch traces the sudden rise of a technology that
has transformed everyday life for billions of people: the binary
switch. By chronicling the rapid growth of binary switching since
the mid-nineteenth century, Jason Puskar contends that there is no
human activity as common today as pushing a button or flipping a
switch-the deceptively simple act of turning something on or off.
More than a technical history, The Switch offers a
cultural and political analysis of how reducing so much human
action to binary alternatives has profoundly reshaped modern
society.
Analyzing this history, Puskar charts the rapid shift from
analog to digital across a range of devices-keyboards, cameras,
guns, light switches, computers, game controls, even the \"nuclear
button\"-to understand how nineteenth-century techniques continue to
influence today's pervasive digital technologies. In contexts that
include musical performance, finger counting, machine writing,
voting methods, and immersive play, Puskar shows how the switch to
switching led to radically new forms of action and thought.
The innovative analysis in The Switch makes clear that
binary inputs have altered human agency by making choice
instantaneous, effort minimal, and effects more far-reaching than
ever. In the process, it concludes, switching also fosters forms of
individualism that, though empowering for many, also preserve a
legacy of inequality and even domination.
