One of the biggest challenges in chip and system design is determining whether the hardware works correctly. That is the job of functional verification engineers and they are the audience for this comprehensive text from three top industry professionals. As designs increase in complexity, so has the value of verification engineers within the hardware design team. In fact, the need for skilled verification engineers has grown dramatically--functional verification now consumes between 40 and 70% of a project's labor, and about half its cost. Currently there are very few books on verification for engineers, and none that cover the subject as comprehensively as this text. A key strength of this book is that it describes the entire verification cycle and details each stage. The organization of the book follows the cycle, demonstrating how functional verification engages all aspects of the overall design effort and how individual cycle stages relate to the larger design process. Throughout the text, the authors leverage their 35 plus years experience in functional verification, providing examples and case studies, and focusing on the skills, methods, and tools needed to complete each verification task.

This volume beautifully reproduces a selection of plates from one of the finest extant sets of one of the most remarkable atlases ever produced, Braun &amp; Hogenberg's Civitates Orbis Terrarum or "Cities of the World," first published in six volumes between 1572 and 1617. Goss's knowledgeable narrative is full of interesting information about the maps and the history of the cities. 11.25x15.25". Annotation copyright Book News, Inc. Portland, Or.

A lovely, comprehensive guide to more than 3,000 years of cartography, with some 380 classic illustrations, of which 300 are in ravishing color. By taking a historical perspective, Goss is able to show how such important cartographers as Ptolemy, Mercator, Ortelius, and Jefferys artistically reflected the geographical learning of their own times, how the advent of printing increased the availability of accurate maps, and how the exploratory and expansionist activities of the western European nations expanded the functions of maps, which came to be used to delineate the boundaries of national and local government, mark trade routes and safe shipping lanes, and indicate sites of natural resources for development by new settlers. In addition to the European tradition, Goss also surveys the town plans of Imperial China, the star maps of 10th-century Arab astronomers, and the marine stick charts of the Pacific Islanders. Some of the more artistic flights of fancy, evident in elaborate allegorical figures and maps of mythical lands, are discussed in a chapter of their own. 10.75x14.75" Annotation copyright Book News, Inc.
