Ideal for engineers and computer scientists who want to take their FPGA skills to the next level and for use as a hands-on reference, this is also an excellent textbook for senior or graduate-level students in electrical engineering or computer science.

This book provides the advanced issues of FPGA design as the underlying theme of the work. In practice, an engineer typically needs to be mentored for several years before these principles are appropriately utilized. The topics that will be discussed in this book are essential to designing FPGA's beyond moderate complexity. The goal of the book is to present practical design techniques that are otherwise only available through mentorship and real-world experience.

FPGA programming traditionally starts with providing register transfer level (RTL) VHDL or Verilog code to an FPGA synthesis tool. In this part of the tutorial we will show how to automatically generate RTL from the verified high-level architectural model, analyze estimated timing and resource usage, and then automatically run synthesis.

Welcome to the HDL Coder Video Series. In this video series we will learn a popular production proven path to take a MATLAB digital signal-processing algorithm through Simulink, Fixed-Point Designer, and HDL Coder to target an FPGA.

In previous videos in this series, we have discussed the strength of MATLAB and Simulink, created the Simulink model of the pulse detection algorithm, introduced design architecture options that extend control over speed and area tradeoffs, and converted the Simulink design to fixed point.

The HDL model checker includes options for Native Floating Point and Industry Standard checks. As these are not applicable for this example, we shall ignore them. After the selected checks are run, noncompliant status is displayed as warnings or failures. In our case, two warnings are highlighted. To navigate to the source of the warning in the Simulink model, use the link provided. Reported warnings are likely to prevent optimization features to function properly and end up consuming additional hardware resources. To automatically correct the warnings, you can change them using the Modify settings.

Launch the HDL Workflow Advisor by right-clicking the DUT, and select HDL Workflow advisor from the HDL Code option. The HDL Workflow Advisor guides you through the stages of generating HDL code for the DUT and the FPGA design stages using a range of tasks.

In order to run these tasks, we will set each of the task folder options with details of our design and hardware package. Information of the synthesis tool, target device details, and target frequency will be defined under the Set Target folder and settings relating to global reset and report generation are done in the HDL Code Generation Section.

When HDL Advisor completes running the tasks, you have successfully generated the HDL code. The resulting generated HDL is well structured, commented, and readable, and you can navigate from specific lines of HDL code to the model or MATLAB code. The Code Generation report lets you review resource utilization estimates such as multiplier, DSP blocks, and optimization options such as pipelining, resource sharing, and delay balancing. Furthermore, you can view the model changes in the DUT using the Generated Model link option, and even simulate the generated model to ensure it works correctly with the optimized timing.

With the HDL code generated, you can either choose to utilize the Workflow Advisor to create the FPGA Synthesis project, else use a synthesis tool of your choice. In this video we will utilize the first option.

With the logic resources mapped on the FPGA, we can visualize and identify the pre- and post-routing timing information and highlight the critical paths in the model. This analysis uses the Annotate Model with Synthesis Result option and enables the HDL Coder to display the DUT with more accurate critical path timing. With the steps in the Workflow Advisor complete, you can verify the HDL by utilizing cosimulation on the Workflow Advisor. With the cosimulation option we can verify the RTL matches the Simulink and MATLAB behavior.

To learn more on the HDL Coder product, visit the MathWorks website and explore MathWorks Getting Started page to design, explore, generate, and verify HDL code generation for FPGA, ASIC, or System on Chip (SoC) prototype or production projects.

The objective of the BS degree in Computer Science and Engineering is to enable the students to be competent computer hardware professionals as well as to perform further studies. It is a 134-credit hour program requiring about 4 years to complete.

During the first two years, the students are introduced to the basic principles of Engineering as well as Computer Science. This comprehensive introduction lays a foundation in Engineering Designs and Digital Electronics, Mechanics, Computer Programming, and Operating Systems Design. In this period, the students are also exposed to broad-based pure science courses, namely, Physics and Chemistry, and a wide range of education courses, such as English, Philosophy, Psychology, Sociology and other liberal arts and social science courses.

The university requirement for the GED courses is 27 credits. A total of 9 credits comprising 3 credits each in Computer Science, Mathematics and Science are fulfilled in the core requirement. Therefore, students take only 18 credits of GED including:

A student may choose to follow the minor program in BBA, Economics, English, Environmental Studies or Mathematics. Any credits remaining should be filled by open electives. Students choosing this option must bring a confirmation from the respective Academic Department indicating the fulfillment of the minor requirements.

Students must take any 3 CSE courses from the list below. The remaining 2 courses are open electives. In addition; any 400-level course from the CSC, CEG and ETE Curriculum will be counted towards CSE Electives.

The first course for computer science majors and other students with a deep interest in the subject. The course introduces fundamental concepts in computing as data abstraction, algorithms, dynamic data structures, and complexity theory. Implementation is done in a formalized pseudocode only. An introduction to ethics in computer science including philosophical ethics theories. 4 credits (Theory 3 + Lab 1 credit).

This is a more traditional programming course for computer science majors and other students with a deep interest in the subject. Actual programs are constructed using one or more high-level languages with emphasis placed on the concepts introduced in the previous course. Reusability, readability, and documentation are also strongly stressed.
