Three-Dimensional Integrated Circuit Design, Second Eition, expands the original with more than twice as much new content, adding the latest developments in circuit models, temperature considerations, power management, memory issues, and heterogeneous integration. 3-D IC experts Pavlidis, Savidis, and Friedman cover the full product development cycle throughout the book, emphasizing not only physical design, but also algorithms and system-level considerations to increase speed while conserving energy. A handy, comprehensive reference or a practical design guide, this book provides effective solutions to specific challenging problems concerning the design of three-dimensional integrated circuits.

Expanded with new chapters and updates throughout based on the latest research in 3-D integration:

• Manufacturing techniques for 3-D ICs with TSVs
• Electrical modeling and closed-form expressions of through silicon vias
• Substrate noise coupling…

In this book, the CEO of Cazton, Inc. and internationally-acclaimed speaker, Chander Dhall, demonstrates current website design scalability patterns and takes a pragmatic approach to explaining their pros and cons to show you how to select the appropriate pattern for your site. He then tests the patterns by deliberately forcing them to fail and exposing potential flaws before discussing how to design the optimal pattern to match your scale requirements. The author explains the use of polyglot programming and how to match the right patterns to your business needs. He also details several No-SQL patterns and explains the fundamentals of different paradigms of No-SQL by showing complementary strategies of using them along with relational databases to achieve the best results. He also teaches how to make the scalability pattern work with a real-world microservices pattern. 

With the proliferation of countless electronic devices and the ever growing…

In Practical Performance Profiling, Jean-Philippe Gouigoux provides both the theory and practical skills necessary to analyze and improve the performance of .NET code. By focusing on the 20% of code defects that account for 80% of performance loss, Jean-Philippe Gouigoux guides the reader through using a profiler and explains how to identify and correct performance bottlenecks. This book is for all developers who wish to boost the performance of their .NET code without having to embark on the steep slopes of tuning. Jean-Philippe Gouigoux draws on over ten years' experience as a software architect specializing in this area to demystify performance in .NET code. In Practical Performance Profiling he explains how the .NET platform manages memory and uses a sample application based on a real software package to demonstrate a wide range of performance slowdowns. With clear explanations of how to set up automated test scenarios, use a profiler, diagnose problems, identify solutions and…

Computer Systems Performance Evaluation and Prediction bridges the gap from academic to professional analysis of computer performance.

This book makes analytic, simulation and instrumentation based modeling and performance evaluation of computer systems components understandable to a wide audience of computer systems designers, developers, administrators, managers and users. The book assumes familiarity with computer systems architecture, computer systems software, computer networks and mathematics including calculus and linear algebra.

· Fills the void between engineering practice and the academic domain's treatment of computer systems performance evaluation and assessment
· Provides a single source where the professional or student can learn how to perform computer systems engineering tradeoff analysis
· Allows managers to realize cost effective yet optimal computer systems tuned to a specific application

This book presents a set of 11 papers accompanying the lectures of leading researchers given at the 7th edition of the International School on Formal Methods for the Design of Computer, Communication and Software Systems, SFM 2007, held in Bertinoro, Italy in May/June 2007.

SFM 2007 was devoted to formal techniques for performance evaluation and covered several aspects of the field.

The need to evaluate computer and communication systems performance and dependability is continuously growing as a consequence of both the increasing complexity of systems and the user requirements in terms of timing behaviour. The 10th International Conference on Modelling Techniques and Tools for C- puter Performance Evaluation, held in Palma in September 1998, was organised with the aim of creating a forum in which both theoreticians and practitioners could interchange recent techniques, tools, and experiences in these areas. This meeting follows the predecessor conferences of this series: 1984 Paris 1988 Palma 1994 Wien 1985 Sophia Antipolis 1991 Torino 1995 Heidelberg 1987 Paris 1992 Edinburgh 1997 Saint Malo The tradition of this conference series continued this year where many high quality papers were submitted. The Programme Committee had a di cult task in selecting the best papers. Many ne papers could not be included in the program due to space constraints. All accepted…

This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 12th International Conference on Modelling Techniques and Tools for Computer Performance Evaluation, TOOLS 2002, held in London, UK in April 2002. The 18 revised full papers and six tool papers presented together with an invited contribution were carefully reviewed and selected from 57 submissions. Among the topics addressed are generic techniques like stochastic process algebras and the analysis of Petri nets and Markov chains, as well as the development and employment of tools in areas such as the Internet, software performance engineering, parallel systems, real-time systems, and transaction processing.
