Taken for Granted

Last year I worked with Brian Bailey and a number of other contributors on a new book on ESL, just published by Springer.

“ESL Models and their Application:  Electronic System Design and Verification in Practice” is a complement to our earlier book (with Andrew Piziali and a number of contributors) “ESL Design and Verification:  A prescription for electronic system level methodology” (Elsevier Morgan Kaufmann, 2007).

The new book concentrates on giving a snapshot of actual ESL practice in 2009-2010, illustrating the various kinds of models and ESL applications in widespread use today, with worked out examples illustrating use of some of today’s key technologies.  The examples are all based on real tool use, using particular tools for each example (although others could have been used instead).

Springer should be selling this at upcoming conferences such as DATE 2010 and DAC 2010, so please check it out if you are there.   You can also find it on Amazon here.

If you have a comment on the book – good or bad – please post it here!  Your feedback is always welcome.
