In Praise of High-Performance puting:
Architectures, Applications, and Methodologies
High-Performance puting is a timely addition to the literature of system
design. The number of designs, as well as the number of installed embedded systems,
vastly surpasses those of general puting, yet there are very few books on
embedded design. This book introduces prehensive set of topics ranging from
design methodologies to metrics to optimization techniques for the critical embedded
system resources of space, time, and energy. There is substantial coverage of the increas-
ingly important design issues associated with multiprocessor systems. Wayne Wolf is a
leading expert in embedded design. He has personally conducted research on many of
the topics presented in the book, as well as practiced the design methodologies on the
numerous embedded systems he has built. This book contains information valuable to
the embedded system veteran as well as the novice designer.

High-Performance puting addresses high-end puters—
certainly an area where a skilled balance between hardware and petencies
is particularly important for practitioners, and arguably a research domain which will be
at the heart of the most interesting methodological evolutions in ing years.
Focusing on best industrial practices and real-world examples and applications, Wayne
Wolf presents in anized and integrated way an impressive amount of leading-edge
research approaches, many of which will most likely e key differentiators for win-
ning designs in ing decade. This is a timely book ideally suited both for practitio-
ners and students in advanced puter engineering courses, as well as
researchers and scientists who want to get a snapshot of the important research taking
place at the confluence puter architecture and electronic design automation.
