Software architecture is often confused with low-level design and the technology stack. Technology vendors and popular technology-focused journals tend to propagate this misunderstanding. As a result, many software engineers produce architecture des
about this book Ajax is a growing new technology at the time of this writing and we’re delighted to bring you the lowdown on it, in the inimitable style of Manning’s In Action series. In doing so, though, we faced an interesting problem. Although Aj
OpenMP is an Application Program Interface (API), jointly defined by a group of major computer hardware and software vendors. OpenMP provides a portable, scalable model for developers of shared memory parallel applications. The API supports C/C++ an
The Cortex Microcontroller Software Interface Standard (CMSIS) answers the challenges that are faced when software components are deployed to physical microcontroller devices based on a Cortex-M0 or Cortex-M3 processor. The CMSIS will be also expand
The TCP/IP protocol suite allows computers of all sizes, from many different computer vendors, running totally different operating systems, to communicate with each other. It is quite amazing because its use has far exceeded its original estimates.
Any developer who wants to create LAN-based, WAN-based, and Web-based applications using Microsoft Windows NT Server as a foundation must use many separate pieces of software. Some of these pieces will be supplied by Microsoft, and you or your compa
This comprehensive study covers over 300 different service providers and almost 30 different product platforms from all the major vendors. As has been the case for nineteen years, the Report is the result of direct primary research by COMSYS over an
JMS has quickly become a de facto industry standard. In its second version, most enterprise messaging vendors now support the JMS specification, making for a large selection of JMS providers to choose from. The Java Message Service is a Java API imp
In the realm of FPGAs, many tool vendors offer behaviorally-based simulators aimed at easing the complexity of large FPGA designs. At times, a behaviorally-modeled design does not work in hardware as expected or intended. VTsim, a Virtex-II device s
This specification defines the minimum set of requirements for JEDEC X4/X8/X16 DDR SDRAMs. Vendors will provide individual data sheets in their specific format. Vendor data sheets should be consulted for optional features or superset specifications.
