This book is a single-source solution for anyone who is interested in exploring emerging reconfigurable nanotechnology at the circuit level. It lays down a solid foundation for circuits based on this technology having considered both manual as well as automated design flows. The authors discuss the entire design flow, consisting of both logic and physical synthesis for reconfigurable nanotechnology-based circuits. The authors describe how transistor reconfigurable properties can be exploited at the logic level to have a more efficient circuit design flow, as compared to conventional design...

This book deals with a practical approach to defining a system on a chip (SoC) architecture. It is written by practicing industry experts with cumulative five decades of hands-on experience. The book discusses how the system-level design challenges are addressed at the architecture stage and clearly defines different SoC subsystems and components. The book explains the practical method of determining system subsystems in system architectures. 

This book presents recent advances towards the goal of enabling efficient implementation of machine learning models on resource-constrained systems, covering different application domains. The focus is on presenting interesting and new use cases of applying machine learning to innovative application domains, exploring the efficient hardware design of efficient machine learning accelerators, memory optimization techniques, illustrating model compression and neural architecture search techniques for energy-efficient and fast execution on...

This book describes the state-of-the-art of technology and research on In-Memory Computing Hardware Accelerators for Data-Intensive Applications. The authors discuss how processing-centric computing has become insufficient to meet target requirements and how Memory-centric computing may be better suited for the needs of current applications. This reveals for readers how current and emerging memory technologies are causing a shift in the computing paradigm. The authors do deep-dive discussions on volatile and non-volatile memory technologies, covering their basic memory cell structures,...

Dieses Buch beschreibt eine neue, grobkörnige rekonfigurierbare Architektur (CGRA), genannt Blocks, und stellt sie in den Kontext von Computerarchitekturen und insbesondere von anderen CGRAs. Das Buch beginnt mit einer ausführlichen Bewertung historischer und bestehender CGRAs und deren Stärken und Schwächen. Dies führt auch zu einem besseren Verständnis und einer neuen Definition dessen, was CGRAs von anderen Architekturansätzen unterscheidet.

Die Autoren stellen Blocks als einzigartig vor, da es über separate programmierbare Steuer- und Datenpfade verfügt, so dass...

This book discusses the acceleration of deep reinforcement learning (DRL), which may be the next step in the burst success of artificial intelligence (AI). The authors address acceleration systems which enable DRL on area-limited & battery-limited mobile devices. Methods are described that enable DRL optimization at the algorithm-, architecture-, and circuit-levels of abstraction.

This is an introductory textbook for courses in Synchronous Digital Design that enables students to develop useful intuitions for all of the key concepts of digital design. The author focuses this tutorial on the design flow, which is introduced as an iterative cycle of Analysis, Improvement, Modeling, and Synthesis. All the basic elements of digital design are covered, starting with the CMOS transistor to provide an abstraction upon which everything else is built. The other main foundational concepts introduced are clocked synchronous register-transfer level design, datapath, finite...

This book describes recent findings in the domain of Boolean logic and Boolean algebra, covering application domains in circuit and system design, but also basic research in mathematics and theoretical computer science.  Content includes invited chapters and a selection of the best papers presented at the 15^th annual International Workshop on Boolean Problems.

This book provides an introduction to the key concepts of Fully Homomorphic Encryption (FHE)-based computing, and discusses the challenges associated with architecting FHE-based computing systems. Readers will see that due to FHE’s ability to compute on encrypted data, it is a promising solution to address privacy concerns arising from cloud-based services commonly used for a variety of applications including healthcare, financial, transportation, and weather forecasting. This book explains the fundamentals of the FHE operations and then presents an architectural analysis of the...
