This is the first book of a two-volume book set which introduces software defined chips. In this book, it introduces the conceptual evolution of software defined chips from the development of integrated circuits and computing architectures. Technical principles, characteristics and key issues of software defined chips are systematically analyzed. The hardware architecture design methods are described involving architecture design primitives, hardware design spaces and agile design methods. From the perspective of the compilation system, the complete process from high-level language to configuration contexts is introduced in detail.
Shaojun Wei (Fellow, IEEE) received the Ph.D. degree from the La Faculté Polytechnique de Mons, Mons, Belgium, in 1991. He is a professor at the School of Integrated Circuits, Tsinghua University, Beijing, China, His main research interests include reconfigurable computing VLSI system-on-chip (SoC) design, electronic design automation (EDA) methodology and application specific integrated circuit (ASIC) design for communications. Prof. Wei has published more than 230 peer-reviewed journal and conference papers, 9 books/book chapters with one of them being the first book on Reconfigurable Computing in China and nearly 100 international patents with several winning national awards. The main contributions of Prof. Wei are acknowledged by (1) dynamically reconfigurable computing pattern, (2) reconfigurable cell array architecture supporting highly efficient implementation of control-intensive applications, (3) configuration information mapping mechanism improving performance and power consumption. These technologies found applications in multimedia, cryptographic and neural processors, as well as processors for data centers. They not only laid the ground for software defined chips but were also highly appreciated by industry leaders such as Intel. Since 2009, Intel has carried out large projects with Prof. Wei's team for collaborative research and development. Prof. Wei has been coordinating the strategic plan for the semiconductor development in China as the leading expert of the "863 program" since 2000 and as the chief scientist of "National Key Projects of Science and Technology" for more than 10 years. His enormous contributions to IC design during the past 20 years have earned him the IEEE CAS Industrial Pioneer Award.
Leibo Liu received B.S. and Ph.D. from Tsinghua University in 1999 and 2004, respectively. He is a tenured professor of the School of Integrated Circuits at Tsinghua University. His research interests include reconfigurable computing, hardware security and cryptographic engines.
Jianfeng Zhu received the B.S. and Ph.D. degrees in electronic science and technology from Tsinghua University, Beijing, China, in 2008 and 2015, respectively. He is currently with School of Integrated Circuits, Tsinghua University. His current research interests include software defined chips, the architecture and compilation of CGRA, hardware security and low-power design.
Chenchen Deng received the B.S. in Electronic Engineering from Beijing University of Posts and Telecommunications, China, in 2007 and the D.Phil. in Engineering Science from University of Oxford, UK, in 2012. She now works as an assistant research fellow at Beijing National Research Center for Information Science and Technology, Tsinghua University, Beijing. Her current research interests include software defined chips, reconfigurable computing, energy-efficient computing systems and design methods for hardware security.

Most authentic book compilation on the Oregon Trail I ever read. The way the diaries are brought to life from over 170 years ago is a remarkable achievement. Top book of year so far for me for today June 01, 2024 review Candice
This author is a breathe of fresh air in a world of lies and coverups. He brings ancient writings and new science to bring light to mankind. In this amazing work, the well known plato stories from antiquity are now put alongside this new discovery of tablets from beginning of time. This is the most complete explanation of Atlantis every brought to the public. Shame on the governments of Egypt and the world for hiding WHO BUILT THE PHYRAMIDS OF GIZA AND THE SPHINX. Once I read this book I knew why they hid this knowledge. They don't want a population to know how great the world used to be compared to know.
Randomly stumbled upon this book and I am shocked that I haven’t heard about it before. It’s hands down the best story I’ve read in years. People need to read this book. It needs to be turned into a book. This story is just plain awsome. M
This soulful book of personal poetry brought me into the past and into the present---and into my heart.
Read the first book and this 2nd one did not disappoint! Loved every chapter. More please!
