It gives me immense pleasure to introduce this timely handbook to the research/- velopment communities in the ?eld of signal processing systems (SPS). This is the ?rst of its kind and represents state-of-the-arts coverage of research in this ?eld. The driving force behind information technologies (IT) hinges critically upon the major advances in both component integration and system integration. The major breakthrough for the former is undoubtedly the invention of IC in the 50's by Jack S. Kilby, the Nobel Prize Laureate in Physics 2000. In an integrated circuit, all components were made of the same semiconductor material. Beginning with the pocket calculator in 1964, there have been many increasingly complex applications followed. In fact, processing gates and memory storage on a chip have since then grown at an exponential rate, following Moore's Law. (Moore himself admitted that Moore's Law had turned out to be more accurate, longer lasting and deeper in impact than he ever imagined. ) With greater device integration, various signal processing systems have been realized for many killer IT applications. Further breakthroughs in computer sciences and Internet technologies have also catalyzed large-scale system integration. All these have led to today's IT revolution which has profound impacts on our lifestyle and overall prospect of humanity. (It is hard to imagine life today without mobiles or Internets!) The success of SPS requires a well-concerted integrated approach from mul- ple disciplines, such as device, design, and application.

Review

From the reviews:

“This handbook provides a reference on key topics in the design, analysis, implementation, and optimization of hardware and software for signal processing systems. ... We hope that this handbook will serve as a useful reference to engineering practitioners, graduate students, and researchers working in the broad area of signal processing systems. It is also envisioned that selected chapters from the book can be used as core readings for seminar- or project-oriented graduate courses in signal processing systems.” (zbMATH, Vol. 1285, 2014)

From the Back Cover

Handbook of Signal Processing Systems is organized in four parts. The first part motivates representative applications that drive and apply state-of-the art methods for design and implementation of signal processing systems; the second part discusses architectures for implementing these applications; the third part focuses on compilers and simulation tools; and the fourth part describes models of computation and their associated design tools and methodologies.

This handbook provides:

A comprehensive overview of signal processing systems

Standalone, complete reference to signal processing systems

A comprehensive index for ease of use

An extensive bibliography for further reading

This handbook is essential for those involved in R&D in the design, architecture, and implementation of a wide array of signal processing systems. This handbook is also suitable as a first point of entry to the field for undergraduate and post-graduate students in engineering, computer sciences, and system engineering.
