PowerPC System Architectureby Tom Shanley; Inc. Mindshare
Addison-Wesley Longman 1995; US$ 9.95PowerPC System Architecture describes the hardware architecture of PowerPC systems, providing a clear, concise explanation of the PowerPC specification, the template upon which all PowerPC processors are designed. The author provides a complete description of the specification for both the 32- and 64-bit implementations. The second half of the book examines the PowerPC 601 processor as an example, exploring how the processor fits, adheres to, and deviates from the PowerPC processor specification. In addition, a detailed discussion of the bus structure and transaction protocol used by the 60x processors is provided. more...
iOS Sensor Apps with Arduinoby Alasdair Allan
O'Reilly Media 2011; US$ 9.99Turn your iPhone or iPad into the hub of a distributed sensor network with the help of an Arduino microcontroller. With this concise guide, you’ll learn how to connect an external sensor to an iOS device and have them talk to each other through Arduino. You’ll also build an iOS application that will parse the sensor values it receives and plot the resulting measurements, all in real-time. iOS processes data from its own onboard sensors, and now you can extend its reach with this simple, low-cost project. If you're an Objective-C programmer who likes to experiment, this book explains the basics of Arduino and other hardware components you need—and lets you have fun in the process. Learn how to connect the Arduino platform... more...

Pentium Pro and Pentium II System Architectureby Tom Shanley; Inc. Mindshare
Addison-Wesley Longman 1998; US$ 14.95Detailed discussion of the Pentium II and Pentium Pro processors, Front Side Bus (FSB) protocol and system implementation from a hardware and software viewpoint. Written for computer hardware and software engineers, this book offers insight into how the Pentium Pro and Pentium II family of processors translates legacy x86 code into RISC instructions, executes them out of order, and then reassembles the result to match the original program flow. In detailing the Pentium Pro and Pentium II processors' internal operations, the book reveals why the processors generate various transaction types and how they monitor bus traffic generated by other entities to ensure cache consistency. more...

Kalman Filtering and Neural Networksby Simon Haykin
John Wiley & Sons, Inc. 2004; US$ 139.95State-of-the-art coverage of Kalman filter methods for the design of neural networks This self-contained book consists of seven chapters by expert contributors that discuss Kalman filtering as applied to the training and use of neural networks. Although the traditional approach to the subject is almost always linear, this book recognizes and deals with the fact that real problems are most often nonlinear. The first chapter offers an introductory treatment of Kalman filters with an emphasis on basic Kalman filter theory, Rauch-Tung-Striebel smoother, and the extended Kalman filter. Other chapters cover: An algorithm for the training of feedforward and recurrent multilayered perceptrons, based on the decoupled extended Kalman filter (DEKF)... more...
