This book provides students and practicing chip designers with an
easy-to-follow yet thorough, introductory treatment of the most
promising emerging memories under development in the industry.
Focusing on the chip designer rather than the end user, this book
offers expanded, up-to-date coverage of emerging memories circuit
design. After an introduction on the old solid-state memories and
the fundamental limitations soon to be encountered, the working
principle and main technology issues of each of the considered
technologies (PCRAM, MRAM, FeRAM, ReRAM) are reviewed and a range
of topics related to design is explored: the array organization,
sensing and writing circuitry, programming algorithms and error
correction techniques are reviewed comparing the approach followed
and the constraints for each of the technologies considered.
Finally the issue of radiation effects on memory devices has been
briefly treated. Additionally some considerations are entertained
about how emerging memories can find a place in the new memory
paradigm required by future electronic systems. This book is an
up-to-date and comprehensive introduction for students in courses
on memory circuit design or advanced digital courses in VLSI or
CMOS circuit design. It also serves as an essential, one-stop
resource for academics, researchers and practicing engineers.
This book describes the technology of charge-trapping non-volatile
memories and their uses. The authors explain the device physics of
each device architecture and provide a concrete description of the
materials involved and the fundamental properties of the
technology. Modern material properties, used as charge-trapping
layers, for new applications are introduced. Provides a
comprehensive overview of the technology for charge-trapping
non-volatile memories; Details new architectures and current
modeling concepts for non-volatile memory devices; Focuses on
conduction through multi-layer gate dielectrics stacks.

This book examines the field of parallel database management
systems and illustrates the great variety of solutions based on a
shared-storage or a shared-nothing architecture. Constantly
dropping memory prices and the desire to operate with low-latency
responses on large sets of data paved the way for main memory-based
parallel database management systems. However, this area is
currently dominated by the shared-nothing approach in order to
preserve the in-memory performance advantage by processing data
locally on each server. The main argument this book makes is that
such an unilateral development will cease due to the combination of
the following three trends: a) Today's network technology features
remote direct memory access (RDMA) and narrows the performance gap
between accessing main memory on a server and of a remote server to
and even below a single order of magnitude. b) Modern storage
systems scale gracefully, are elastic and provide
high-availability. c) A modern storage system such as Stanford's
RAM Cloud even keeps all data resident in the main memory.
Exploiting these characteristics in the context of a main
memory-based parallel database management system is desirable. The
book demonstrates that the advent of RDMA-enabled network
technology makes the creation of a parallel main memory DBMS based
on a shared-storage approach feasible.
This brief describes how non-volatile change of the resistance ,
due to the application of electric voltage allows for fabrication
of novel digital memory devices. The author explains the physics of
the devices and provides a concrete description of the materials
involved as well as the fundamental properties of the technology.
He details how charge trapping, charge transfer and conductive
filament formation effect resistive switching memory devices.
Offering thorough coverage of atomic layer deposition (ALD), this
book moves from basic chemistry of ALD and modeling of processes to
examine ALD in memory, logic devices and machines. Reviews history,
operating principles and ALD processes for each device.
Master BeagleBone programming by doing simple electronics and
Internet of Things projects About This Book * Quickly develop
electronics projects that interact with Internet applications using
JavaScript and Python * Learn about electronics components such as
sensors and motors, and how to communicate with them by writing
programs * A step-by-step guide to explore the exciting world of
BeagleBone-from connecting BeagleBone to doing electronics projects
and creating IoT applications Who This Book Is For If you want to
learn programming on embedded systems with BeagleBone by doing
simple electronics projects, this book is for you. This book is
also helpful to BeagleBone owners who want to quickly implement
small-scale home automation solutions. It is assumed that you have
familiarity with C and Python programming. Some familiarity with
electronics is helpful but not essential. What You Will Learn *
Connect your BeagleBone to a computer in different ways and get the
Cloud9 IDE running to quick-start programming on the BeagleBone *
Get to know about BeagleBone extension pins such as GPIO and how to
connect various electronics components with BeagleBone * Read and
write to various electronics components such as LED, Push-button,
sensors, and motors * Grasp in-depth theory on Analog, PWM, and BUS
programming and the electronics components used in programs *
Handle data to and from various BUS supporting modules such as
UART, I2C, and SPI using the Adafruit BBIO Python library * Write
real-life IoT applications in JavaScript and Python such as
shooting an e-mail on overheat and controlling a servo motor
remotely * Make use of online free cloud services to store and
analyze sensor data collected on the BeagleBone * Discover what
else can be done using the BeagleBone * Get to grips with embedded
system BUS communication In Detail The whole world is moving from
desktop computers to smartphones and embedded systems. We are
moving towards utilizing Internet of Things (IoT). An exponential
rise in the demand for embedded systems and programming in the last
few years is driving programmers to use embedded development boards
such as Beaglebone. BeagleBone is an ultra-small, cost-effective
computer that comes with a powerful hardware. It runs a
full-fledged Debian Linux OS and provides numerous electronics
solutions. BeagleBone is open source and comes with an Ethernet
port, which allows you to deploy IoT projects without any additions
to the board. It provides plenty of GPIO, Anlaog pins, and UART,
I2C, SPI pins which makes it the right choice to perform
electronics projects. This gives you all the benefits of Linux
kernel such as multitasking, multiusers, and extensive device
driver support. This allows you to do programming in many languages
including high-level languages such as JavaScript and Python. This
book aims to exploit the hardware and software capabilities of
BeagleBone to create real-life electronics and IoT applications
quickly. It is divided into two parts. The first part covers
JavaScript programs. The second part provides electronics projects
and IoT applications in Python. First, you will learn to use
BeagleBone as tool to write useful applications on embedded
systems. Starting with the basics needed to set up BeagleBone and
the Cloud9 IDE, this book covers interfacing with various
electronics components via simple programs. The electronics theory
related to these components is then explained in depth before you
use them in a program. Finally, the book helps you create some
real-life IoT applications. Style and approach An easy-to-follow
guide full of real-world electronics programs and quick
troubleshooting tips using BeagleBone. All the required electronics
concepts are explained in detail before using them in a program and
all programs are explained in depth. Most of the theory is covered
