: Lecture: Friday 9:30
AM - 5:30 PM and Saturday 9:30am - 5:30pm
Course Objectives:
This course will focus on many dimensions of System-On-Chip (SOC) designs. Most current systems (Computing, communication and entertainment systems in many domains, such as healthcare and automobiles) have at least one or more SoCs, which are key to their functioning. System-on-chip techniques integrate multiple functionalities into a single chip, by integrating processing, communication, memories, DSPs and more. These are often developed by multiple vendors and need to be adapted with ease, without losing the rights to the intellectual property. SoCs are developed through sound CAD, architecture and system level techniques and with close interactions of the hardware and software embedded within the application domain. With decreasing feature size and increased integration, many challenges have emerged in the design, test, and verification of SoCs. Low power, reliable and secure SoC designs are vital to get most consumer products to market in time.
