  1. Class RoadmapCPEG 324

  2. 1950’s Late 2010’s Pre-silicon Silicon Post-silicon 70’s Late 90’s Early-Silicon Silicon Late-Silicon The Custom Era The ASIC Age ?? History of Computer Engineering During Silicon Era, Chip Design was HOT… We are now entering Post-Silicon Era… Platform Design is now HOT…

  3. Birth of Platform-Based Design • Established P-BD concept as a paradigm shift for gigascale design (leverage costs per design win) • Developed Formal Models for Platform Specification and Exploration Application EDN, August 2003 Mescal Architecture Description (MAD) MESCAL: Modern Embedded Systems: Compilers, Architectures, and Languages Multi-partner effort:GSRC, Intel, Cypress, Cadence, BWRC “Alberto Triangles” Silicon Implementation Platform methodology is now widely used

  4. What is Platform-Based Design? • Design systems using existing ICs • Programmable devices (i.e. FPGA) • Commercial micro-processors • Application Specific Chips (i.e. CCD, SerDes) • Use hardware-description languages • System simulation • Logic Synthesis (i.e. Code-to-FPGA) • Printed-circuit board design • Software/Hardware Co-Development • Device drivers, DMA, etc.

  5. Platform-Based Design at UDEL • CPEG 324 – Computer System Design I • System Design • System Simulation • Printed Circuit Board Design • Introduction to VHDL • CAD Tools: Cadence Allegro, Synopsys VHDL • CPEG 422 - Computer System Design II • FPGA Design • Logic Synthesis • Full VHDL Coverage • Hardware Experiments • CAD Tools: Synopsys Synthesis, Xilinx FPGA

  6. Platform-Based Design at UDEL • CPEG 324 – Computer System Design I • In this course you will design and simulate a printed circuit daughter-board for XSA-50 prototyping board from XESS Corporation. Your board design will implement a custom gigabit serial link interface. Gigabit serial links are used PCI express, Serial ATA (SATA), USB 2.0, FIREWIRE, DVI, HDMI and other applications. You will simulate your design in VHDL. • CPEG 422 - Computer System Design II • In this course, you will use the daughter-board from CPEG 324 with XSA-50 proto-board to design, implement and test various gigabit data transfer systems. You will use VHDL logic synthesis and Xilinx FPGA devices to implement your designs. You will have access to state-of-the-art test equipment to characterize performance of your designs.
