CH10-300102: General Electrical Engineering II

We start with the concepts of impedance and phasors, which allow for a convenient representation of circuit elements and their responses in terms of linear systems. Subsequently, we introduce tools for the analysis of AC signals, specifically, the Fourier Series and the Fourier Transform. Using these tools are a basis, we revise various elementary circuits, first studied in CH10-300101 under the Laplace framework, now emphasizing the notions of frequency (oscillation) and phase (rotation), thus establishing the fundamental concepts required to understand Communication Systems (module CO-25) and Signal Processing (module CO27), to be pursued in the second year.

ELEC 326: DIGITAL LOGIC DESIGN

Jacobs University Bremen

CAS-300351: Advanced Digital Design

As the feature size of semiconductor devices continues to shrink at a staggering rate, the increasing degree of integration allows very complex digital systems to be realized on a single chip. Such systems can either be fabricated in application specific integrated circuits (ASICs) using very high scale integration (VLSI) techniques or implemented in programmable devices, such as field programmable gate arrays (FPGAs). In both cases, very large designs are partitioned into a hierarchy of logical blocks, and by adhering to a set of standard design rules, the difficulty of integrating these blocks is dramatically reduced. The most popular approach is synchronous design with register transfer level (RTL) logic, but asynchronous designs are also possible. Although digital systems were traditionally designed at the schematic level, the current trend is toward hardware description languages (HDLs) that allow compact description of very complex hardware constructs. The appearance of sophisticated automatic hardware synthesis engines that implement logic directly from HDL have made HDLs the choice for new logic designs. Although the target language of this class is VHDL, other languages such as Verilog and SystemC apply the same design strategies. This course stresses the importance of viewing HDL as a way of describing real hardware, and not “just another programming language.”

ELEC 425: COMPUTER SYSTEMS ARCHITECTURE

Sabancı University

CS 401: Computer Architectures

This is an introductory course on the architecture and organization of computer hardware. The most important objective of the course is to explore the interaction between the hardware organization of modern computers and software, and to reveal the impact of the hardware organization on the performance of the software. Thus, the emphasis in this course will be the basic concepts and techniques that are fundamental for modern computers such as datapath design, pipelining, memory hierarchy etc. MIPS architecture as a representative modern RISC architecture is chosen to explain some fundamental concepts. And also, basics of assembly language programming for this architecture will be introduced. More specifically, we show how numbers are represented within a computer and how the circuits that perform arithmetic operations on those numerals are organized. With a high-level overview of digital logic design to support us, we look at how the datapath and control circuits of processors are designed, and in particular we gain some insight for the pipelined processor design, which is the key organizational principle at work in most present-day processors. We examine the use of memory hierarchy (cache memory and virtual memory) to provide the illusion of a large and fast memory from the reality of limited fast memory plus a larger but slower memory. We'll look at input/output devices and buses. Throughout the course there will be an emphasis on the quantitative performance characteristics of computer systems; we'll look at the influence of architecture and organization on performance, and take an introductory look at the empirical and analytical tools appropriate to the study of performance.
