In this new edition of the Handbook of Signal Processing Systems, many of the chapters from the previous editions have been updated, and several new chapters have been added. The new contributions include chapters on signal processing methods for light field displays, throughput analysis of dataflow graphs, modeling for reconfigurable signal processing systems, fast Fourier transform architectures, deep neural networks, programmable architectures for histogram of oriented gradients processing, high dynamic range video coding, system-on-chip architectures for data analytics, analysis of finite word-length effects in fixed-point systems, and models of architecture.
There are more than 700 tables and illustrations; in this edition over 300 are in color.
This new edition of the handbook is organized in three parts. Part I motivates representative applications that drive and apply state-of-the art methods for design and implementation of signal processing systems; Part II discusses architectures for implementing these applications; and Part III focuses on compilers, as well as models of computation and their associated design tools and methodologies.

Ed F. Deprettere received the M.Sc degree in Electrical Engineering from Ghent University (Belgium) in 1968, and the Ph.D. degree in Electrical Engineering from Delft University of Technology (The Netherlands) in 1980. At Delft he has held visiting research positions at Stanford University, University of California at Los Angeles, and Philips Research. In 2000 he joined Leiden University as full professor in the Leiden Institute of Advanced Computer Science, where he has been head of the Leiden Embedded Research Center. While in Leiden, he held visiting professor positions at the Indian Institute of Science (Bangalore, India), and the Technical University of Sofia (Bulgaria). He was founder of the Daedalus foundation which was to coordinate the co-operation with Sofia. Ed F. Deprettere is now emeritus professor since 2012.
Rainer Leupers received the M.Sc. (Dipl.-Inform.) and Ph.D. (Dr. rer. nat.) degrees in Computer Science with honors from TU Dortmund in 1992 and 1997. From 1997-2001 he was the chief engineer at the Embedded Systems chair at TUDortmund. In 2002, Dr. Leupers joined RWTH Aachen University as a professor for Software for Systems on Silicon. Since then, he has also been a visiting faculty member at the ALARI Institute in Lugano. His research and teaching activities comprise software development tools, processor architectures, and system-level electronic design automation, with focus on application-specific multicore systems. He published numerous books and technical papers, and heserved in committees of leading international conferences, including DAC, DATE, and ICCAD. He was a co-chair of the MPSoC Forum and SCOPES. Dr. Leupers received several scientific awards, including Best Paper Awards at DATE 2000, 2008 and DAC 2002, as well as multiple industry awards. He holds several patents on processor design automation technologies and has been a co-founder of LISATek (now with Synopsys), Silexica, and Secure Elements. He has served as consultant for various companies, as an expert for the European Commission, and in the management boards of large-scale projects like UMIC, HiPEAC, Eurolab4HPC, and ARTIST. He is the coordinator of EU projects TETRACOM and TETRAMAX on academia-industry technology transfer.
Jarmo Takala received his M.Sc. (hons) degree in Electrical Engineering and Dr.Tech. degree in Information Technology from Tampere University of Technology, Tampere, Finland (TUT) in 1987 and 1999, respectively. He has held industrial positions as a Research Scientist at VTT-Automation, Tampere, Finland, and a Senior Research Engineer at Nokia Research Center. Since 2000, he has been Professor in Computer Engineering at TUT and held various positions as Head of Department of Computer Engineering, Dean of Faculty of Computing and Electrical Engineering, and currently Vice President. Dr. Takala is a senior member of IEEE and has acted as the Chair of IEEE Signal Processing Society's Design and Implementation of Signal Processing Systems Technical Committee.
