This book provides novel theoretical foundations and experimental demonstrations of Spiking Neural Networks (SNNs) in tasks such as radar gesture recognition for IoT devices and autonomous drone navigation using a fusion of retina-inspired event-based camera and radar sensing. The authors describe important new findings about the Spike-Timing-Dependent Plasticity (STDP) learning rule, which is widely believed to be one of the key learning mechanisms taking place in the brain. Readers will be enabled to create novel classes of edge AI and robotics applications, using highly energy- and...

This is a comprehensive and forward-thinking book that addresses one of the most pressing challenges in modern computing: how to leverage the immense computational power of GPUs within the stringent constraints of real-time systems. As industries demand faster, smarter, and more responsive technologies-autonomous vehicles, robotics, edge AI, and cyber-physical systems-the ability to deliver deterministic performance on inherently non-deterministic hardware becomes critical.

This book dives deep into the architectural mismatch between GPUs and real-time requirements, unravelling the...

 This book provides an easy-to-read introduction to quantum computing, as well the classical simulation of quantum circuits with common types of error effects. The authors showcase the enormous potential that can be unleashed when doing these simulations using decision diagrams–a data-structure common in the design automation community, often used in quantum computing design tasks. The algorithms and methods described can outperform previously proposed solutions in some cases, providing a complementary solution to established approaches. Finally, the necessity of noise-aware...

Reconfigurable systems have pervaded nearly all fields of computation and will continue to do so for the foreseeable future. Reconfigurable System Design and Verification provides a compendium of design and verification techniques for reconfigurable systems, allowing you to quickly search for a technique and determine if it is appropriate to the task at hand. It bridges the gap between the need for reconfigurable computing education and the burgeoning development of numerous different techniques in the design and verification of reconfigurable systems in various...

The demands of increasingly complex embedded systems and associated performance computations have resulted in the development of heterogeneous computing architectures that often integrate several types of processors, analog and digital electronic components, and mechanical and optical components all on a single chip. As a result, now the most prominent challenge for the design automation community is to efficiently plan for such heterogeneity and to fully exploit its capabilities.
A compilation of work from internationally renowned authors, Model-Based Design for Embedded...
