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....

This book is the second volume of a two-volume book set which introduces software-defined chips. In this book, the programming model of the software-defined chips is analyzed by tracing the coevolution of modern general-purpose processors and programming models. The enhancement in hardware security and reliability of the software-defined chips are described from the perspective of dynamic and partial reconfiguration. The challenges and prospective trends of software-defined chips are also ...

This book introduces readers to environmental background investigation, pollution source intensity evaluation and risk assessment approaches used at three main types of groundwater-contaminated sites: municipal domestic waste landfills, hazardous waste landfills and oil-contaminated sites. In addition, typical contaminated sites throughout China are examined to demonstrate how these approaches can be applied for their investigation, assessment and restoration. By reading this book, readers...
