A major goal of this book is to show to make devices that are inherently reliable by design. While a lot of attention has been given to “quality improvement,” the majority of the emphasis has been placed on the processes that occur after the design of a product is complete. Design deficiencies are a significant problem, and can be exceedingly difficult to identify in the field. These types of quality problems can be addressed in the design phase with relatively little effort, and with far less expense than will be incurred later in the process. Unfortunately, there are many hardware designers and organizations that, for various reasons, do not understand the significance and expense of an unreliable design. The design methodology presented in this text is intended to address this problem.

There are no "Introduction to Programming" tutorials here. This site is meant to be used by more-or-less experienced C++ programmers, who have a good idea of what they want to do and simply need to look up the syntax. If you re interested in learning C/C++, try one of these sites:

This book is for you if
You re no "dummy," and you need to get quickly up to speed in intermediate to advanced C++
You ve had some experience in C++ programming, but reading intermediate and advanced C++ books is slow-going
You ve had an introductory C++ course, but you ve found that you still can t follow your colleagues when they re describing their C++ designs and code
You re an experienced C or Java programmer, but you don t yet have the experience to develop nuanced C++ code and designs
You re a C++ expert, and you re looking for an alternative to answering the same questions from your less-experienced colleagues over and over again
C++ Common Knowledge covers essential but commonly misunderstood topics in C++ programming and design while filtering out needless complexity in the discussion of each topic. What remains is a clear distillation of the essentials required for production C++ programming, presented in the author s trademark incisive, engaging style.
Write a multithreaded Java, Pthreads, or WIN32 program that outputs prime numbers. This program should work as follows: The user will run the program and will enter a number on the command line. The program will then create a separate thread that outputs all the prime numbers less than or equal to the number entered by the user.
The literature of cryptography has a curious history. Secrecy, of course, has always played a central
role, but until the First World War, important developments appeared in print in a more or less
timely fashion and the field moved forward in much the same way as other specialized disciplines.
As late as 1918, one of the most influential cryptanalytic papers of the twentieth century, William F.
Friedman’s monograph The Index of Coincidence and Its Applications in Cryptography, appeared as
a research report of the private Riverbank Laboratories [577]. And this, despite the fact that the work
had been done as part of the war effort. In the same year Edward H. Hebern of Oakland, California
filed the first patent for a rotor machine [710], the device destined to be a mainstay of military
cryptography for nearly 50 years.
It has been suggested1 that an appropriate figure of merit for a low probability of intercept and
detection (LPI/D) waveform is the quantity “Range x Bandwidth / Joule”. That is, the further the
range, the wider the bandwidth and the less amount of energy used to achieve these values, the
more covert is the resultant communications system.
