About Course

With technological advances that allow us to integrate complete multi-processor systems on a single die, Systems-on-Chip (SoCs) are at the core of most embedded computing and consumer devices, such as cell phones, media players and automotive, aerospace or medical electronics. This course will provide an understanding of the concepts, issues, and process of designing highly integrated SoCs following systematic hardware/software co-design & co-verification principles. Specifically, the class project involves taking public domain C++ code for a machine learning based visual object recognition application utilizing a deep/convolutional neural network (DNN/CNN) and mapping it to an ARM-based virtual and FPGA prototyping platform using state-of-the-art synthesis and verification tools and design flows.

What Will You Learn?

  • This his course is designed for students to learn and be able to:
  • Analyse the functional and non-functional performance of the system early in the design process to support design decisions.
  • Analyse hardware/software trade-offs, algorithms, and architectures to optimize the system based on requirements and implementation constraints.
  • Analyse trade-offs and explore architecture and micro-architecture design spaces to develop and synthesize custom hardware accelerators
  • Understand hardware, software, and interface synthesis.
  • Understand issues in interface design.
  • Use co-simulation to validate system functionality.
  • Describe examples of applications and systems developed using a co-design approach.
  • Appreciate issues in system-on-chip design associated with co-design, such as intellectual property, reuse, and verification.
