About the course
Aim
The course intends to give hands-on experience on the design of an advanced application specific computer system on a chip with regard to performance, response time, testability, cost, interaction between hardware and software. After a completed course the student shall be able to:
- Integrate a computer of IP blocks to solve a specific problem
- Design and integrate accelerators
- Modify the instruction set of the computer to achieve speed up
- Design hardware to measure the performance of the computer
- Design application software in C/asm
- Implement the design in an FPGA
Content
Large SystemVerilog blocks (IP blocks) are treated as components during the design phase. CPUs, interconnects, memories, I/O units are optimized for an application. Modification of a cross compiler for C/C++. Adaptation of OS (Linux) and application software. Simulation. Implementation in FPGA.
