Final project is the complete design of a small system using FPGAs. Advances in Computer-Aided Synthesis of VLSI Circuits. Covers a wide variety of topics relating to the development of computer-aided synthesis tools for VLSI circuits. Both combinatorial and system aspects are addressed. Advances are put into historical and taxonomic perspective.
Topics covered include layout synthesis, logic synthesis, and behavioral synthesis.
