This book provides a systematic and unified methodology, including basic principles and reusable processes, for dynamic memory management (DMM) in embedded systems.

The aggressive evolution of the semiconductor industry - smaller process geometries, higher densities, and greater chip complexity - has provided design engineers the means to create complex, high-performance System-on-a-Chip (SoC) designs.

The authors share their real-world experience in the best patterns tradition--all the examples provide ample opportunity to see the solutions at work. This is a "must have!

Abstract: "The benefits of a behavioral synthesis design methodology, including higher designer productivity and shorter time-to- market, are the results of allowing the designer to use more abstract and familiar specifications.

About the Book: Software Essentials: Design and Construction explicitly defines and illustrates the basic elements of software design and construction, providing a solid understanding of control flow, abstract data types (ADTs), memory, ...

While part of that efficiency is the responsibility of the hardware platform designers, a large part is related to how the software designers utilize the underlying hardware. This is especially true for the data memory hierarchy.

Finally, further insights into the novel architecture and dynamically-scheduled processors in general are developed through an analysis of the non-determinism introduced by dynamic scheduling, and the challenges this factor presents to ...

This text provides coverage of object-oriented programming while introducing advanced programming and software engineering concepts and techniques along with basic data structures.

... and dynamic memory allocation , software could now be written to allow large datasets to be kept in memory without increasing the load module size for all users . Many software systems that had kept the data in ... software design 223.
