which can be visualized as shown in Figure1.1 above. A's row i and B's column j are called vectors -one-dimensional grids of numbers. The inner-product computation can beexpressed as: which can be ...

Programming languages are evolving to bring the software closer to hardware. As hardware architectures become more parallel (with the advent of multicore processors and FPGAs, for example), sequential ...

The authors of my Editor’s Top Picks for this week – Atego’s Kelvin Nilsen and Adacore’s S. Tucker Taft – believe that despite all the tools that allow embedded systems developers to maintain ...
