SoC Design : 2014/15: Twelve Lectures for CST Part II

A current-day system on a chip (SoC) consists of several different microprocessor subsystems together with memories and I/O interfaces. This course covers SoC design and modelling techniques with emphasis on architectural exploration, assertion-driven design and the concurrent development of hardware and embedded software. This is the ``front end'' of the design automation tool chain. (Back end material, such as design of individual gates, layout, routing and fabrication of silicon chips is not covered.)
