5G Edge Computing Acceleration Technologies

Discover the latest advances in computer architecture and software at the dawn of the 5G era  

In 5G Edge Computing Acceleration Technologies, distinguished researchers Dr. Patrick Hung, Hongwei Kan, and Greg Knopf deliver a comprehensive overview of personal computer architecture and software design usage in the upcoming 5G decade. The authors begin by introducing key components and exploring different hardware acceleration architectures. They move on to discuss 5G data security and data integrity and offer a survey of network virtualization technologies, including accelerated virtualization technologies. 

The book analyzes 5G system performance, investigating key design considerations and trade-offs and introducing high-level synthesis flow. It concludes with chapters exploring design verification and validation flow, illustrations of 5G applications based on artificial intelligence and other emerging technologies and offering highlights of emerging 6G research and roadmaps. 

Readers will enjoy the combination of accessible descriptions of new technologies presented side-by-side as a step-by-step guide to designing effective 5G systems. The book also includes:  

• A thorough introduction to key 5G components, including new wireless communication protocols, edge and fog computing, acceleration technologies, IoE architectures, software-designed networks, network function virtualization, and data security 
• Explorations of various hardware acceleration architectures, like FPGA and GPU acceleration architectures 
• Practical discussions of 5G data security, data integrity, and a survey of network virtualization technologies 
• In-depth treatments of 5G system performance, key design considerations, high-level synthesis flow, design verification, and validation flow 

Perfect for undergraduate and graduate students in programs related to communications technology, engineering, and computer science, 5G Edge Computing Acceleration Technologies is a must-have resource for engineers, programmers, technical managers, communications business executives, telco operators, and government regulators who regularly interact with cutting-edge communications equipment.
