This book arises from experience the authors have gained from years of work as industry practitioners in the field of Electronic System Level design (ESL). At the heart of all things related to Electronic Design Automation (EDA), the core issue is one of models: what are the models used for, what should the models contain, and how should they be written and distributed. Issues such as interoperability and tool transportability become central factors that may decide which ones are successful and those that cannot get sufficient traction in the industry to survive.

Through a set of...

This book presents physical understanding, modeling and simulation, on-chip characterization, layout solutions, and design techniques that are effective to enhance the reliability of various circuit units. The authors provide readers with techniques for state of the art and future technologies, ranging from technology modeling, fault detection and analysis, circuit hardening, and reliability management.

Zugeschnitten auf die Bedurfnisse von Ingenieuren, vermittelt der Autor in zwolf Kapiteln die Grundlagen der dreidimensionalen Computergrafik. Alle gangigen Projektionsarten, das Farbmanagement sowie diverse Verfahren zur Visualisierung werden behandelt. Die Kapitel bieten viele durchgerechnete Beispiele, inklusive der Ergebnisdarstellung. Die erforderlichen Mathematik-Kenntnisse gehen uber Grundlagen der Matrizen-Rechnung und der Analytischen Geometrie nicht hinaus und sind in einem separaten Kapitel zusammengefasst.

Since process variation and chip performance uncertainties have become more pronounced as technologies scale down into the nanometer regime, accurate and efficient modeling or characterization of variations from the device to the architecture level have become imperative for the successful design of VLSI chips.

This book provides readers with tools for variation-aware design methodologies and computer-aided design (CAD) of VLSI systems, in the presence of process variations at the nanometer scale. It presents the latest developments for modeling and analysis, with a focus on...

Complex systems have become ubiquitous and are essential to today's society. The design of reliable complex systems and the determination of their availability are therefore very important tasks for managers and engineers. These tasks, however, can be extremely difficult to achieve, due to the fact that current analytical methods are often too complicated, time-consuming, inefficient, or even inappropriate, when dealing with real-life systems.

Simulation Methods for Reliability and Availability of Complex Systems discusses the use of computer simulation-based...

The application of CMOS circuits and ASIC VLSI systems to problems in medicine and system biology has led to the emergence of Bio/CMOS Interfaces and Co-Design as an exciting and rapidly growing area of research. The mutual inter-relationships between VLSI-CMOS design and the biophysics of molecules interfacing with silicon and/or onto metals has led to the emergence of the interdisciplinary engineering approach to Bio/CMOS interfaces. This new approach, facilitated by 3D circuit design and nanotechnology, has resulted in new concepts and applications for VLSI systems in the bio-world....

Um Nachhaltigkeit im Facility Management zu realisieren, sind praxisgerechte Bezugsgrossen erforderlich. Die Autoren stellen in dem Band eine Definition der Nachhaltigkeit vor, die auf Kennzahlen fur das Facility Management basiert und die sie in Kooperation mit Unternehmen erarbeitet haben. Anhand eines IT-gestutzten Systems werden die flexible Erfassung, Verwaltung, Messung und Auswertung von Nachhaltigkeitskennzahlen im Unternehmen dargestellt und das Tool in seinen Kernfunktionen beschrieben.

Current multimedia and telecom applications require complex, heterogeneous multiprocessor system on chip (MPSoC) architectures with specific communication infrastructure in order to achieve the required performance. Heterogeneous MPSoC includes different types of processing units (DSP, microcontroller, ASIP) and different communication schemes (fast links, non standard memory organization and access).

Programming an MPSoC requires the generation of efficient software running on MPSoC from a high level environment, by using the characteristics of the architecture. This task is known...
