N. Nicolici

This course provides in-depth knowledge of the design methodologies that meet the challenge of the global shift from chip-based products to those which implement complete systems on a single chip. The course focuses on the novel intellectual property (IP)-centered design methodologies. The topics include embedded processor cores and memories, low power design, system verification and fault-tolerant computing. Understanding of application specific integrated circuits and hardware description languages is recommended.
