Education and Industrial Short Courses

1) Advanced Logic Design:

Methodology and Circuit Techniques, Selected topics in logic design of complex and high-performance systems such as:

Advanced circuits technology for high-speed logic
Low power
Clocking and timing of high performance systems
High-performance latch and pipelining
Pipeline conflicts and hazard resolution
High-performance circuits for fast computer arithmetic and algorithms for fast computation
Design methodology and use of hierarchy in the design
Design for testability and test.

This course was taught at: Hewlett-Packard Laboratories 1996, Silicon Systems Inc. 1995, and as a regular course of the University of California Berkeley Extension and Hewlett-Packard.

2) Advanced Micro-Architecture:
Design issues and micro-architecture of modern processors:

Architectural features that enable high-performance.
Comparative analysis of existing computer architectures and distinguish features.
Issue in instruction set design and relationship with the pipeline and hardware implementation.
Instruction set statistics and usage. Memory structure and optimization of the memory hierarchy.

Issues in core design:

Advanced pipelining and issues in super-scalar and super-pipelined computer design and relation to architecture.
Implementation of RISC V architecture, and RISC V pipeline.

This course was taught as a regular course of the University of California Berkeley Extension.
