A Formal Approach to Hardware Design
A Formal Approach to Hardware Design by Jørgen Staunstrup, published by Springer US on October 9, 2012, is a softcover reprint of the original 1st edition from 1994, comprising 232 pages. This book discusses the design of computations intended for application-specific hardware, introducing a formal design approach utilizing a high-level design language known as Synchronized Transitions. The models developed with Synchronized Transitions allow designers to conduct various analyses and verifications using a unified language.
Readers will find that A Formal Approach to Hardware Design illustrates the advantages of adopting formal design techniques without requiring prior knowledge of such methods. The book serves as both a comprehensive reference and a resource suitable for students and practitioners in fields related to technology and engineering, particularly in electronics and computer architecture. Additionally, it highlights the availability of public domain CAD tools that support the concepts presented, making it a practical choice for those looking to deepen their understanding of hardware design.
Official synopsis Publisher
A Formal Approach to Hardware Design discusses designing computations to be realised by application specific hardware. It introduces a formal design approach based on a high-level design language called Synchronized Transitions. The models created using Synchronized Transitions enable the designer to perform different kinds of analysis and verification based on descriptions in a single language. It is, for example, possible to use exactly the same design description both for mechanically supported verification and synthesis.
Synchronized Transitions is supported by a collection of public domain CAD tools. These tools can be used with the book in presenting a course on the subject.
A Formal Approach to Hardware Design illustrates the benefits to be gained from adopting such techniques, but it does so without assuming prior knowledge of formal design methods. The book is thus not only an excellent reference, it is also suitable for use by students and practitioners.
