CS/EE 5830/6830 VLSI Architecture Project Information

Students must complete a project designing, implementing, and measuring an arithmetic circuit. Project proposals are due April 12th and can be completed individually or with one other student. Acceptable projects include dividers, floating point units, square root circuits, inverse square root circuits, transcendental functions, and matrix or iterative operations. The final report due May 3rd should describe the designed circuit, optimization process, testing approach, test results including size and speed, and conclusions.

CS/EE 5830/6830 VLSI Architecture

Project information
You project should be the design, implementation, and measurement of a significant
arithmetic circuit. You can propose your own project, or you could choose either the
divider or the floating point proposed projects (see the class web site). Other potential
projects are circuits for: square root, inverse square root (1/root(n)), transcendental
functions, combinations of operations like dot or cross product, matrix operations,
iterative approximations, etc. Group sizes for the final project can be one or two.
You should turn in a short (1-2 page) proposal for your project on Tuesday April 12 in
class. This should be a description of the circuit you intend to build, whos on your team
(if its a team of two), and what you plan to demonstrate and measure about your circuit.
For the final project report turn in a written report that describes your project along with
the actual design directories by Tuesday of finals week (Tuesday, May 3rd). You can turn
the design directories in with on-line handin (to CAD6), but please turn in a hard copy of
the report. The report should describe what your project is, what features you added, what
you did to optimize for speed (or power or size), how you tested your unit, and what the
test reports showed. You should also report size (number of transistors) and speed for
your design. I should be able to tell what you did, why you chose to do things that way,
and what your results were by reading the report. That is, dont expect me to dig
information out of your design directory. If you think I should see it in order to decide
your grade on the project, put it in the report! Ill look at your design directories as part of
my evaluation, but I should be able to tell what you did, why, and how it turned out by
reading the report.
