CSCE 43703 — Electronic Design Automation
This course studies physical design, analysis and optimization of VLSI circuits and systems with emphasis on computational realizations and optimization. We start with some related topics such as graph algorithms and discuss various well-known algorithms and methodologies in the design process of VLSI circuits, including design partitioning, logic synthesis, floorplanning, routing, static timing analysis and performance-driven layout. It requires a basic knowledge of digital circuit design, data structure, and object-oriented programming. Students cannot receive credit for both CSCE 43703 and CSCE 53703 . Prerequisite: CSCE 39503 and CSCE 31903 , each with a C or higher. (Typically offered: Irregular)
Prerequisites: CSCE 39503, CSCE 31903
