Algorithms, Smart Chips and Their Applications (Industrial control, computers & communications series)

Considers application-specific or algorithmically-dedicated processors and controllers designed to improve the price/performance ratio of VLSI solid-state components. Describes the influence of the new standard parts and the impact of algorithms (protocols), component architectures and standards on one another. The first section of the book discusses the architecture of VLSI parts for computer graphics. The second section deals with the architecture of VLSI parts for digital signal processing, while the third section considers the architectures of VLSI parts used in local area networks.
