Praise for Embedded Computing: A VLIW

Approach to Architecture, Compilers

and Tools

There is little doubt that embedded computing is the new frontier of computer research.

There is also a consensus that VLIW technology is extremely powerful in this domain.

This book speaks with an authoritative voice on VLIW for embedded with true technical

depth and deep wisdom from the pioneering experiences of the authors. This book will

ﬁnd a place on my shelf next to the classic texts on computer architecture and compiler

optimization. It is simply that good.

Tom Conte Center for Embedded Systems Research, North Carolina State University

Written by one of the ﬁeld’s inventors with his collaborators, this book is the ﬁrst complete

exposition of the VLIW design philosophy for embedded systems. It can be read as a

stand-alone reference on VLIW—a careful treatment of the ISA, compiling and program

analysis tools needed to develop a new generation of embedded systems—or as a series

of design case studies drawn from the authors’ extensive experience. The authors’ style

is careful yet informal, and the book abounds with “ﬂames,” debunked “fallacies” and

other material that engages the reader in the lively interplay between academic research

and commercial development that has made this aspect of computer architecture so

exciting. Embedded Computing: A VLIW Approach to Architecture, Compilers, and

Tools will certainly be the deﬁnitive treatment of this important chapter in computer

architecture.

Richard DeMillo Georgia Institute of Technology

This book does a superb job of laying down the foundations of VLIW computing and con-

veying how the VLIW principles have evolved to meet the needs of embedded computing.

Due to the additional attention paid to characterizing a wide range of embedded appli-

cations and development of an accompanying toolchain, this book sets a new standard

both as a reference and a text for embedded computing.

Rajiv Gupta The University of Arizona

A wealth of wisdom on a high-performance and power-efﬁcient approach to embedded

computing. I highly recommend it for both engineers and students.

Josh, Paolo, and Cliff have devoted most of their professional lives to developing and

advancing the fundamental research and use of VLIW architectures and instruction

level parallelism. They are also system-builders in the best and broadest sense of the

term. This book offers deep insights into the ﬁeld, and highlights the power of these

technologies for use in the rapidly expanding ﬁeld of high performance embedded com-

puting. I believe this book will become required reading for anyone working in these

technologies.

Dick Lampman HP Labs

Embedded Computing is a fabulous read, engagingly styled, with generous research

and practical perspective, and authoritative, since Fisher has been responsible for this

paradigm of simultaneously engineering the compiler and processor. Practicing engi-

neers—both architects and embedded system designers—will ﬁnd the techniques they

will need to achieve the substantial beneﬁts of VLIW-based systems. Instructors will value

the rare juxtaposition of advanced technology with practical deployment examples, and

students will enjoy the unusually interesting and mind-expanding chapter exercises.

Richard A. Lethin Reservoir Labs and Yale University

One of the strengths of this book is that it combines the perspectives of academic

research, industrial development, as well as tool building. While its coverage of embed-

ded architectures and compilers is very broad, it is also deep where necessary. Embedded

Computing is a must-have for any student or practitioner of embedded computing.
