Dr. Jari Nurmi is Professor at Tampere University of Technology and his expertises lie in: DSP Processor Architecture, Network-on-Chip, Embedded System-on-Chip Design, Integrated Signal Processing and Digital Communication Circuits. Jari Nurmi has edited one successful book for Springer.
From the reviews: “Editor Jari Nurmi’s proposal was to put together the first effective textbook aimed at the subject of processor design. The book comprises 21 chapters, written by a total of 45 contributing authors with backgrounds in both academic and industrial fields. … To summarize, this book offers a nice overview on the steps involved in designing a soft-processor, as well as a good perspective on past architectures and current trends in processor design.” (Ricardo Jasinski, The Computer Journal, Vol. 53 (1), 2010)
