Reader Reviews
Now and then a book comes along to open your eyes. I've been developing embedded computing solutions for twenty years and thought I knew a thing or two about this important computing discipline. Wayne Wolf's book put structure and analysis around what I knew (and thought was just improvised) and taught me a lot more about industrial-strength solutions. Wish to use the correct model of computation for your real-time application? Start with this book and follow the leads. Want to minimize memory? Practical algorithms are here. Need to balance throughput and latency? Go no further. Have to develop software and hardware concurrently? Get the right picture in the last chapter. Above all, the book gives excellent coverage of critical issues for migrating uniprocessor code to multiprocessors. I only wish that the solution manual could be available to those of us who are not instructors but work in the industry, and I feel the Index ought to be expanded. Otherwise a perfect book for embedded computing professionals and students.
