  Programming the parallel port
Gadre D., R & D Publications, Inc., Lawrence, KS, 1998.  Type: Book (9780879305130)

In teaching computing (mostly C++ programming) to electrical engineering undergraduates, I often come across the following scenario. A former student of mine is carrying out his or her final-year electrical engineering project. The pro...

  Parallel computation
Akl S., Prentice-Hall, Inc., Upper Saddle River, NJ, 1997.  Type: Book (9780131470347)

Parallelism remains both an intellectual challenge and a useful commodity in computer system design. With widespread access to personal computers, the topic of parallel computing as a whole, and parallel algorithms in particular, is no...

  Automatic generation of functional vectors using the extended finite state machine model
Cheng K., Krishnakumar A. ACM Transactions on Design Automation of Electronic Systems 1(1): 57-79, 1996.  Type: Article

Researchers and designers working on software tools for automatic generation of functional vectors for sequential circuits are this paper’s main audience. Unlike similar research for combinational circuits, which has traditio...

  Field-programmable gate arrays
Oldfield J., Dorf R., Wiley-Interscience, New York, NY, 1994.  Type: Book (9780471556657)

In the past few years there has been a surge of interest in system design approaches based on field-programmable gate arrays (FPGAs), especially for embedded applications.  FPGAs  provide an ideal combination of the f...

  Electronic logic systems (3rd ed.)
Almaini A., Prentice-Hall, Inc., Upper Saddle River, NJ, 1994.  Type: Book (9780132535199)

A plethora of good texts on logic and digital system design is available for students majoring in computer science or electronic engineering. Many of those volumes have gone through a number of editions. Yet there seems to be a constan...

  Near-Optimal Time-Space Tradeoff for Element Distinctness
Yao A. SIAM Journal on Computing 23(5): 966-975, 1994.  Type: Article

Anyone interested in time-space tradeoff results will be interested in this paper. Such tradeoff results have recently been obtained for various generic problems and computational models. The paper looks at the element distinctness pr...

  Transmission lines in computer engineering
Rosenstark S., McGraw-Hill, Inc., New York, NY, 1994.  Type: Book (9780070539532)

Several years ago, I was involved in a project on designing interface controllers for a bus interconnection architecture for an on-board multiprocessor system. We pursued an asynchronous design style and wanted to make our circuits as ...

  Digital system design using field programmable gate arrays
Chan P., Mourad S., Prentice-Hall, Inc., Upper Saddle River, NJ, 1994.  Type: Book (9780133190212)

Field-programmable gate arrays (FPGAs) are popular as a way to rapidly prototype VLSI circuits. The physical design phase can be reduced to just a few minutes. FPGAs enjoy other advantages, such as relatively high gate density, reprogr...

  Practical filter design
Middlehurst J., Harrison R. (ed), Prentice-Hall, Inc., Upper Saddle River, NJ, 1993.  Type: Book (9780137199808)

Unlike almost all books on analogue filters, this text does not contain a single mathematical formula. Yet, one can use this book to design useful filters whose behavior is described by complex differential equations or transfer functi...

  Sequential logic testing and verification
Ghosh A., Devadas S., Newton A., Kluwer Academic Publishers, Norwell, MA, 1992.  Type: Book (9780792391883)

Quite a few good texts about combinatorial logic testing are available. Similarly, a number of existing techniques and tools can efficiently synthesize and generate tests for such circuits. Testing sequential circuits and synthesis of ...
