This is a comprehensive and forward-thinking book that addresses one of the most pressing challenges in modern computing: how to leverage the immense computational power of GPUs within the stringent constraints of real-time systems. As industries demand faster, smarter, and more responsive technologies―autonomous vehicles, robotics, edge AI, and cyber-physical systems―the ability to deliver deterministic performance on inherently non-deterministic hardware becomes critical.

This book dives deep into the architectural mismatch between GPUs and real-time requirements, unravelling the complexity of preemption limitations, variable execution times, synchronization bottlenecks, and resource contention. It presents a unified view of the field, combining foundational knowledge with state-of-the-art solutions, ranging from innovative scheduling algorithms and multitasking frameworks to power-aware design strategies and emerging hardware paradigms.

Clear, rigorous, and research-driven, this book is an essential reference for computer scientists, embedded systems engineers, and academic researchers looking to design the next generation of real-time, GPU-accelerated systems. It doesn’t just review the field―it defines it.

Right of withdrawal

If you are a consumer you can withdraw from the contract in accordance with the following. Consumer means any natural person who is acting for purposes which are outside his trade, business, craft or profession.

Information regarding the right of withdrawal

Statutory right to withdraw

You have the right to withdraw from this contract within 14 days without giving any reason.

The withdrawal period will expire after 14 days from the day on which you acquire, or a third party other than the carrier and indicated by you acquires, physical possession of the last good or the last lot or piece.

To exercise the right of withdrawal, electronically fill in and submit a clear statement on our website, under "My Purchases" in "My Account". We will communicate to you an acknowledgement of receipt of such a withdrawal on a durable medium (e.g. by e-mail) without delay.

To meet the withdrawal deadline, it is sufficient for you to send your communication concerning your exercise of the right of withdrawal before the withdrawal period has expired.

Effects of withdrawal

If you withdraw from this contract, we will reimburse to you all payments received from you, including the costs of delivery (except for the supplementary costs arising if you chose a type of delivery other than the least expensive type of standard delivery offered by us).

We may make a deduction from the reimbursement for loss in value of any goods supplied, if the loss is the result of unnecessary handling by you.

We will make the reimbursement without undue delay, and not later than 14 days after the day on which we are informed about your decision to withdraw from this contract.

We will make the reimbursement using the same means of payment as you used for the initial transaction, unless you have expressly agreed otherwise; in any event, you will not incur any fees as a result of such reimbursement.

We may withhold reimbursement until we have received the goods back, or you have supplied evidence of having sent back the goods, whichever is the earliest.

You shall send back the goods or hand them over to Basi6 International, Irving, Texas, U.S.A., without undue delay and in any event not later than 14 days from the day on which you communicate your withdrawal from this contract to us. The deadline is met if you send back the goods before the period of 14 days has expired. You will have to bear the direct cost of returning the goods. You are only liable for any diminished value of the goods resulting from the handling other than what is necessary to establish the nature, characteristics and functioning of the goods.
