As semiconductor applications continue to advance and proliferate, the industry is increasingly dependent on design technologies for design closure and for meeting productivity goals. Electronic design automation (EDA), which has driven advances in design technologies for the past 30 years, will continue to play a critical role in the semiconductor food chain.

This book brings together a set of core EDA topics which provides an essential, fundamental understanding of the EDA tasks and the design process. Collectivley, these topics cover the core knowledge, software tools, algorithms, methodologies, and infrastructure required to optimize synthesis, verification, and manufacturing test of a functional and reliable integrated circuit.

The contents found within this book will enable the reader to understand fundamental EDA algorithms for synthesis and verification as well as very-large-scale intergartion (VLSI) test principles and DFT architectures to tackle EDA and test problems as advances in technology enter the nanometer era.

By creating 2-3 sample games over the course of the book, you’ll learn key concepts of the cocos2d game engine and relevant tools like Zwoptex (TextureAtlas), ParticleDesigner (Particle Effects), and others.

The example games are modeled after popular App Store games so that they are relevant, recognizable, and immediately fun and inspiring. The games increase in complexity and highlight common recurring cocos2d beginner questions. As you move along, you’ll learn about possible stumbling blocks and how to navigate them successfully. As you move from beginning to advanced, you’ll encounter general game programming wisdom, tips for performance improvement, as well as pointers to alternative implementations and further reading.

It is assumed that the reader has previous programming knowledge but not necessarily with Objective-C. Related topics such as Xcode, Objective-C, the iPhone SDK, and OpenGL are only discussed where absolutely necessary.

Do you think that only experts with a deep understanding of the inner workings of ASP.NET, SQL Server, and IIS can improve a website’s performance? Think again - because this book tosses that notion out of the window. It will help you resolve every web developer’s nightmare - a slow website - with angry managers looking over your shoulder, raging calls from advertisers and clients - the lot. You don’t have the time or energy to gain a thorough and complete understanding of ASP.NET performance optimization - You just need your site to run faster! This book will show you how.

This hands-on book shows how to dramatically improve the performance of your ASP.NET-based website straight away, without forcing you through a lot of theoretical learning. It teaches you practical, step-by-step techniques that you can use right away to make your site faster with just the right amount of theory you need to make sense of it all.

Start reading today and you could have a faster website tomorrow.

Unlike other performance-related books, here you’ll first learn how to pinpoint the bottlenecks that hold back your site’s performance, so you can initially focus your time and energy on those areas of your site where you can quickly make the biggest difference. It then shows you how to fix the bottlenecks you found with lots of working code samples and practical advice, and just the right amount of theoretical detail.

The first chapter details techniques for diagnosing performance issues using Waterfall charts. Subsequent chapters then each focus on one individual aspect of your website, providing you with numerous real-life scenarios and performance-enhancing techniques for each of them. In the last chapter, you learn how to effectively load-test your environment in order to measure the change in performance of your site without having to update your production environment - whether it is a new release or simply a small change in the database.

What you will learn from this book

• Learn how to pinpoint and fix bottlenecks relating to all aspects of your site - server side, client side, code, images, and database.
• Ensure shorter wait times for your site.
• Eliminate the need to hire a DBA, by speeding up database access using insight into index structures and other advanced techniques.
• Drastically speed up image loading, by exploiting browser behavior and by removing the hidden overhead in each image file.
• Use ASP.NET’s caching feature to dramatically improve performance by adding just a few lines of code.
• Prevent a little known bottleneck overlooked by most developers - a shortage of worker threads in IIS - by using asynchronous methods.
• Enable compression in IIS 6 and IIS 7 to cut file transfer times and bandwidth costs.
• Reduce your Memory and CPU usage.
• Optimize the deployment and usage of forms on your website.
• Speed up JavaScript and CSS loading.
• Diagnose problems as they occur, using waterfall charts.
• Load-test your environment to measure the level of improvement in performance.
• Find heaps of reference links and descriptions of free and low cost tools and services that make it easy to spot performance issues right away.

Approach

Written in a practical and clear conversational style, this book is filled with real-life website performance scenarios. It is replete with lots of working code samples and practical advice, and just the right amount of theory you need to make sense of it all.
