Break Away with Intel Atom Processors: A Guide to Architecture Migration
by Lori Matassa and Max Domeika
In this book, frequent Dr. Dobb's contributors Lori Matassa and Max Domeika provide insight into architecture migration, discussing real world software migration issues and highlighting them with case studies. Pertinent topics that are at the heart of the software migration, such as techniques to port code originally written for other processor architectures, as well as capturing the benefits of Intel Atom platform technologies are discussed. The reality is that architecture migration is not a one-size-fits-all activity and developers must understand all of the decisions that comprise a successful migration. The authors deliver this information as a handbook to your software migration plan and project activities.
