  9. Course Objectives • This is an introductory course in Logic Synthesis for Computer Engineers. • Achieves the following goals: • Teaches you the fundamentalconcepts of logic synthesis. • Teaches you the way in which Electronic Design Automation Systems are designed today. • Teaches you the difference between front end tools and back end tools for Electronic Design Automation. ENG3190 Winter 2014

  10. Tentative Schedule • Week #1, Overview of Synthesis and EDA • Week #2, #3, Computational Boolean Algebra • Week #4, BDDs, AIGs, SAT (data structures) • Week #5, Two Level Logic Synthesis • Week #6, #7, Multi Level Logic Synthesis • Week #8, Sequential Logic Synthesis • Week #9, Technology Mapping • Week #10, High Level Synthesis • Week #11, #12 Physical Design Automation ENG3190 Winter 2014

  11. Assignments • Assignment#1, Computational Boolean Algebra • Assignment#2, Two Level Logic Optimization • Assignment#3, Multi Level Logic Optimization • Assignment#4, Sequential Logic Optimization ENG3190 Winter 2014

  12. LABS • Labs are an integral part of the course. The objectives of the labs are: • Understand and assimilate lecture material • Give practical experience using off the shelve tools such as ESPRESSO, SIS, ABC • Program in high level language (C or C++) some algorithms ENG3190 Winter 2014

  13. Labs: Reports, Preparation .. • Lab#0, Week#1, Introduction to Unix System. • Lab#1, Week#2-3, Q-M Method. • Lab#2, Week#4-5, CUDD Package (BDDs) • Lab#3, Week#6-7, ESPRESSO for Logic Synthesis • Lab#4, Week#8-9, SIS Tool for Logic Synthesis • Lab#5, Week#10-11, ABC Tool for Synthesis. ENG3190 Winter 2014

  14. Exam Schedule • Midterm Week#7, Tuesday Feb 25th (material Week 1-6). • Final Exam Week#13, April 9th, Time: 7:00 PM – 9:00 PM ENG3190 Winter 2014

  15. Evaluation ENG3190 Winter 2014

  16. Important Issues • It is important to remember that the midterm and final exam will be based on the assignment problems, so it is in your best interest to seriously attempt all questions alone. • In order to pass the course, you must pass both the lab and exam course portion. Students must obtain a grade of 50% or higher on the exam portion of the course. • If a laboratory is missed due to illness or other reason, arrangements must be made with the teaching assistant to complete a make-up lab. ENG3190 Winter 2014

  17. Academic Misconduct • Please refer to the regulation outlined in the student handbook regarding academic misconduct. • The policy for this course is zero tolerance for any form of plagiarism and academic misconduct. • All cases will be dealt by the Dean of the College. ENG3190 Winter 2014

  18. Simple Advice • Attend all Lectures! • Attempt all assignments • Make use of your Teaching Assistant • Prepare for the Labs prior to lab session • Study in groups (don’t rely on others!) • Identify your strengths and weaknesses • Manage your time!!!!!!!!!! ENG3190 Winter 2014
