Features: Over the past 20 years, although embedded systems remain an invisible part of many consumer electronics, industrial, and military equipment, they have emerged as a whole. Today, embedded computing is no longer limited to simple device control; it can now perform complex processing tasks with high real-time processing rates and low energy consumption. This book employs a unique quantitative approach to discuss the design of modern embedded computing systems. It describes the pressing issues in design based on quantifiable goals for performance, power, energy consumption, and cost. The practical applications throughout the book make it a timely and highly valuable resource for professionals, researchers, and students.
