ECE 645 - Computer Arithmetic

Credits: 3
Not Repeatable for Credit
Offered by Electrical and Computer Engineering

Covers computer arithmetic as applied to the design of general-purpose microprocessors and application-specific integrated circuits for cryptography, coding, and digital signal processing. Focuses on efficient implementations of all basic arithmetic operations in three major domains: integers, real numbers, and elements of Galois Fields GF(2n). Illustrates tradeoffs among various hardware algorithms and architectures depending on primary optimization criteria, such as speed, area, and power consumption. Demonstrates the use of software implementations as a source of test vectors for verification of hardware implementations and for evaluating hardware versus software speed-up.

Prerequisite(s): ECE 545 or permission of instructor.
Schedule Type: LEC
Hours of Lecture or Seminar per week: 3
