Course description

【Google Classroom Class code】 　　zfbvzcs This course is the final stage of designing a computing system from courses of Logic Circuit and Computer Architecture based on a hardware description language towards VLSI designing.

Expected Learning

Can design a hardware system with a hardware description language. Can confirm a designed hardware via simulation. Can understand operations in a processor designed with a hardware description language. Can add new instructions to the processor with a hardware description language. See the Curriculum maps.
