EECE 4632 — Hardware-Software Codesign for FPGA-Based Systems
4 semester hoursUndergraduateLectureusually offered: springtypical days: M/WBostonTraditional
Studies hardware and software design for embedded systems. Focuses on techniques to efficiently design and make use of field-programmable gate arrays (FPGAs) to accelerate applications. Specific topics include HW/SW codesign, buses and interfacing, C as a hardware description language, high-level synthesis, pipelining, hardware memory hierarchies, and computer arithmetic. Offers students an opportunity to program an embedded processor and interface to digital logic designs implemented on programmable hardware, as well as an opportunity to develop a series of designs in class, culminating in a project of the student's choosing. Potential project topics include (but are not limited to) computer vision, cryptography, machine learning, and wireless communications.
