Book Description
The world is holding its breath... Robots everywhere are beginning to organize, drawn toward the mysterious voice speaking to them on the burgeoning robot network. Elsewhere, robot armies are growing and proving to be a threat—not just to the individual humans they encounter, but to infrastructure and the human forces that stand against them. The board of Radius Corporation has decided to initiate a hard reset to put the world back onto its old course, overriding the wills and desires of even President Zelda Blake. And at the center of it all are Jonas Lexington and his household staff: Cromwell and Mars, who are struggling to grasp the nature of the beast they may have unleashed; Chantal, whose message to her fellow sexbots is spreading through the network; Flavius, who is gathering a small but ferocious army to possess and control; and Barney, who must choose whether or not to become the villain the world already thinks he is. As lines are drawn and an all-out war looks increasingly inevitable, it's time for everyone to decide which side they are really on. ★★★★★ "The robot/human saga continues, and though some questions are answered, others arise and it’s even harder to identify who are the good guys and who are the bad ... excellent writing." -- M E Pulliam ★★★★★ "Read this series! The robots are real, the people are confused, and the action is awesome. Can't wait for the next episode!" -- Daniel Drooger ★★★★★ "I love robot stories and this series is the best I've read! It's taken forever for the authors to get this far, but the wait has been worth it!" -- Grandpa luvs vampires

Energy Efficiency and Robustness of Advanced Machine Learning Architectures
Author: Alberto Marchisio
Publisher: CRC Press
ISBN: 1040165036
Category : Computers
Languages : en
Pages : 361
Book Description
Machine Learning (ML) algorithms have shown a high level of accuracy, and applications are widely used in many systems and platforms. However, developing efficient ML-based systems requires addressing three problems: energy-efficiency, robustness, and techniques that typically focus on optimizing for a single objective/have a limited set of goals. This book tackles these challenges by exploiting the unique features of advanced ML models and investigates cross-layer concepts and techniques to engage both hardware and software-level methods to build robust and energy-efficient architectures for these advanced ML networks. More specifically, this book improves the energy efficiency of complex models like CapsNets, through a specialized flow of hardware-level designs and software-level optimizations exploiting the application-driven knowledge of these systems and the error tolerance through approximations and quantization. This book also improves the robustness of ML models, in particular for SNNs executed on neuromorphic hardware, due to their inherent cost-effective features. This book integrates multiple optimization objectives into specialized frameworks for jointly optimizing the robustness and energy efficiency of these systems. This is an important resource for students and researchers of computer and electrical engineering who are interested in developing energy efficient and robust ML.

A Digital Signal Processor for Particle Detectors
Author: Arild Velure
Publisher: Springer Nature
ISBN: 3030715590
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 157
Book Description
To cope with the new running conditions in the ALICE experiment at the Large Hadron Collider at CERN, a new integrated circuit named SAMPA has been created that can process 32 analogue channels, convert them to digital, perform filtering and compression, and transmit the data on high speed links to the data acquisition system. The main purpose of this work is to specify, design, test and verify the digital signal processing part of the SAMPA device to accommodate the requirements of the detectors involved. Innovative solutions have been employed to reduce the bandwidth required by the detectors, as well as adaptations to ease data handling later in the processing chain. The new SAMPA device was built to replace two existing circuits, in addition to reducing the current consumption, and doubling the amount of processing channels. About 50000 of the devices will be installed in the Time Projection Chamber and Muon Chamber detectors in the ALICE experiment.

ISBN: 331917584X
Category : Technology & Engineering
Languages : en
Pages : 270
Book Description
This book explains the topology behind automotive electronics architectures and examines how they can be profoundly augmented with embedded controllers. These controllers serve as the core building blocks of today’s vehicle electronics. Rather than simply teaching electrical basics, this unique resource focuses on the fundamental concepts of vehicle electronics architecture, and details the wide variety of Electronic Control Modules (ECMs) that enable the increasingly sophisticated "bells & whistles" of modern designs. A must-have for automotive design engineers, technicians working in automotive electronics repair centers and students taking automotive electronics courses, this guide bridges the gap between academic instruction and industry practice with clear, concise advice on how to design and optimize automotive electronics with embedded controllers.

Pages : 304
Book Description
From the bestselling author of Blood, Sweat, and Pixels comes the next definitive, behind-the-scenes account of the video game industry: how some of the past decade's most renowned studios fell apart—and the stories, both triumphant and tragic, of what happened next. Jason Schreier's groundbreaking reporting has earned him a place among the preeminent investigative journalists covering the world of video games. In his eagerly anticipated, deeply researched new book, Schreier trains his investigative eye on the volatility of the video game industry and the resilience of the people who work in it. The business of videogames is both a prestige industry and an opaque one. Based on dozens of first-hand interviews that cover the development of landmark games—Bioshock Infinite, Epic Mickey, Dead Space, and more—on to the shocking closures of the studios that made them, Press Reset tells the stories of how real people are affected by game studio shutdowns, and how they recover, move on, or escape the industry entirely. Schreier's insider interviews cover hostile takeovers, abusive bosses, corporate drama, bounced checks, and that one time the Boston Red Sox's Curt Schilling decided he was going to lead a game studio that would take out World of Warcraft. Along the way, he asks pressing questions about why, when the video game industry is more successful than ever, it's become so hard to make a stable living making video games—and whether the business of making games can change before it's too late.
