ECE-554: Digital Engineering Laboratory ECE-554 was my capstone design course. Of all the classes I've taken,
ECE-554 required the most time and effort. The course outline is simple:
design a non-trivial processor for some purpose. My team, which was composed of
5 students, decided on constructing an explicitly multithreaded processor that
supports subword instructions. (A general outline can be viewed via the
link below). Our 'demo' featured a Windows terminal that streamed images
into the processor which processed them via a variety of filters. We also
demonstrated the use of multiple threads in implementing a fault-tolerant
computing scheme. |
