Processor Design addresses the design of different types of embedded, firmware-programmable computation engines. Because the design and customization of embedded processors has become a mainstream task in the development of complex SoCs (Systems-on-Chip), ASIC and SoC designers must master the integration and development of processor hardware as an integral part of their job. Even contemporary FPGA devices can now accommodate several programmable processors. There are many different kinds of embedded processor cores available, suiting different kinds of tasks and applications. Processor Design provides insight into a number of different flavors of processor architectures and their design, software tool generation, implementation, and verification. After a brief introduction to processor architectures and how processor designers have sometimes failed to deliver what was expected, the authors introduce a generic flow for embedded on-chip processor design and start to explor (more…)

Review
“…addresses a diverse audience: law enforcement people who collect evidence, forensics scientists who perform analyses, lawyers who provide legal counsel…” — Wietse Venema, IBM, T.J. Watson Research Center, U.S.A”…recommended mainly for people looking to expand their general knowledge and awareness of computer crime and the process of computer crime investigation…” — Dr. L.W. Russell, Science & Justice”…this book can be recommended mainly for people looking to expand their general knowledge and awareness of computer crime and the process of computer crime investigation, particularly those just entering the field of digital forensics.”SCIENCE & JUSTICE”Many, perhaps most, of the police, lawyers or systems administrators and forensic scientists involved in investigation or prosecution of computer-related crimes do not know the answer to these questions [of digital evidence handling]. This book will tell them.”-Robert L Dunne, JD, The Center for Internet St (more…)

From Publishers Weekly
This book is based on Williamson’s discovery of A Course in Miracles , a self-help guide whose provenance she doesn’t explain. Age 26 at the time and feeling lost and desperate after indulging in the excesses of the 1960s, the Jewish author had no real hope for inspiration from the course because of its Christian terminology. But, she writes in this guide to the guide, the program works “miracles” for herself and for others who adopt its principles. Her extrapolations may appeal to readers in need of spiritual sustenance, but one questions Williamson’s advice to the gravely ill. When she encourages them, for example, to “write a letter to AIDS or cancer or whatever illness they might have, and tell it everything they feel”–even to fabricate “replies” from the disease–readers are likely to consider that a serious situation is trivialized. Williamson is founder and president of the Los Angeles and Manhattan Center for Living, a support service. BOMC (more…)
