The goal		To introduce students to basic concepts of processor design for VLSI, programming in hardware description languages, mostly VHDL and Verilog. Provide students with the ability to completely design, simulate, test, and synthesize processor level ICs. Also, to teach students the essence of FPGA and how to design and program the FPGA-based supercomputers based on the dataflow architecture.
The outcome		Students will generate the ability to synthesize computer systems for VLSI and to program supercomputers based on FPGA.
