Short-course on Logic Synthesis
I have been working with Synopsys University Program to develop short-course series for academicians, students, and generally anyone interested in acquiring basic skills in various functional areas of hardware design or in Electronic Design Automation (EDA) tools. As part of this effort, we just launched the first short-course in Logic Synthesis.
This course uses OpenSPARC T1 IEEE-754 compliant Floating-Point Unit (FPU) and Synopsys Design Compiler to walk users through various optimizations to achieve certain timing and area objectives.
If you are part of the Synopsys University Program, you can download the course package through Synopsys SolvNet. Alternatively, you can also download it from the OpenSPARC.net.
We have more courses in the pipe-line but do feel free to send us ideas on what you would like to see.
