The key problem addressed in the book is the following: how can an embedded systems designer strike a balance between flexibility and efficiency? The book describes how combining hardware design with software design leads to a solution to this important computer engineering problem. The book covers four topics in hardware\/software codesign: fundamentals, the design space of custom architectures, the hardware\/software interface and application examples. The book comes with an associated design environment that helps the reader to perform experiments in hardware\/software codesign. Each chapter also includes exercises and further reading suggestions.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eImprovements in this second edition include labs and examples using modern FPGA environments from Xilinx and Altera, which make the material applicable to a greater number of courses where these tools are already in use. More examples and exercises have been added throughout the book and several chapters were expanded and reorganized.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\"If I were teaching a course on this subject, I would use this as a resource and text. If I were a student who wanted to learn codesign, I would look for a course that at least used a similar approach. If I were an engineer or engineering manager who wanted to learn more about codesign from a very practical perspective, I would read this book first before any other. When I first started learning about codesign as a practitioner, a book like this would have been the perfect introduction.\" --Grant Martin, Tensilica-- \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e- Teaches embedded systems design, emphasizing the integration of custom hardware components with software.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e- Presents the field of hardware\/software codesign in four parts: Basic Concepts, Custom Architecture, Hardware\/Software Interfaces, and Applications; \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e- Incorporates labs and examples using modern FPGA environments from Xilinx and Altera.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Springer","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":45277026418839,"sku":"9781461437369","price":8732.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9781461437369.webp?v=1769287281","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/a-practical-introduction-to-hardware-software-codesign-9781461437369","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
