Free Download FPGA EDA: Design Principles and Implementation
English | 2024 | ISBN: 9819977541 | 377 Pages | PDF EPUB (True) | 59 MB
This book focuses on FPGA EDA tools, the very foundation of FPGA technology. Instead of illustrating how to use them, this book dives into the tools themselves, revealing how these tools are being designed and how they may improve. Unlike other semiconductors, FPGA has a distinctive two-stage EDA system: chip design EDA and application design EDA.State-of-the-art algorithms, data models and design methodologies/standards are the main concerns of this book, and these will be very helpful for FPGA EDA engineers and researchers to obtain a bird’s eye view of this complicated knowledge system. In the chip design EDA part, full-custom and semicustom methodologies bring up ASIC-like EDA tools, and in the application design EDA side, typical topics including high-level synthesis, logic synthesis, physical implementation, bitstream configuration, etc., are well discussed.

Free Download Control Design for Haptic Systems: Enhancing the Stability and Rendering Performance
English | 2024 | ISBN: 9819985978 | 245 Pages | PDF EPUB (True) | 44 MB
This book aims at the upper-class undergraduate and the graduate students, and practicing engineers in the disciplines of mechanical, electrical, and computer engineering, with background knowledge of control. This book, first, explains the components of the haptic systems that are gaining popularity in the virtual reality simulations, the metaverse applications, as well as the remotely operated robotic systems. Next, the book introduces the previous and current widely-adopted methods for modeling and control of the haptic systems. The important metrics of performance such as stability and transparency of the haptic systems are explained and analyzed. Shortcomings of the current methods are discussed using these metrics. The book, then, explains the theories on the input-to-state stability (ISS), and shows how to formulate the control of haptic systems into the ISS framework. Step by step process of control design using the formulation is detailed, and better results are shown with experiment examples. The book develops further the presented approach to secure improved performance under selected issues. For example, better transparency of the haptic rendering, and handling of constant or time-varying time delay present in the haptic control systems.

With the rapid development of artificial intelligence and the emergence of various new sensors, autonomous driving has grown in popularity in recent years. The implementation of autonomous driving requires new sources of sensory data, such as cameras, radars, and lidars, and the algorithm processing requires a high degree of parallel computing. In this regard, traditional CPUs have insufficient computing power, while DSPs are good at image processing but lack sufficient performance for deep learning. Although GPUs are good at training, they are too "power-hungry," which can affect vehicle performance. Therefore, this book looks to the future, arguing that custom ASICs are bound to become mainstream. With the goal of ICs design for autonomous driving, this book discusses the theory and engineering practice of designing future-oriented autonomous driving SoC chips.

Free Download Christine Macy, "The Tennessee Valley Authority: Design and Persuasion"
English | ISBN: 156898684X | 2007 | 144 pages | PDF | 6 MB
In the wake of the Great Depression, one of Franklin Roosevelt’s most successful New Deal programs was the formation of the Tennessee Valley Authority, a federal government owned corporation created in 1933 to revitalize the Tennessee River Valley. The TVA provided navigation, flood control, electricity generation, strategic materials for national defense, economic development, unemployment relief, and an overall improvement of living conditions in this once-impoverished rural area. The TVA Architects Office built a huge number of structures during the late 1930s and early 1940s, including the many dams that dramatically altered life in the Tennessee River Valley. Its design agenda was comprehensive, addressing all scales of design from door handles to landscape with equal dedication. The Tennessee Valley Authority: Design and Persuasion
