1.8. The Rest of the Book
This book is divided into three major sections: (1) hardware, (2) software, and (3) applications and methodologies. Each section starts with its own introduction that describes the chapters in more detail.
The hardware section looks at architectures and the constraints imposed on those architectures. Many MPSoCs must operate at low power and energy levels; several chapters discuss low-power design. Adequate communication structures are also important given the relatively high data rates and real-time requirements in many embedded applications. The multiprocessors on SoCs may be more specialized than in traditional architectures, but SoC design must clearly rest on the foundations of computer architecture. Several chapters ...
