| 【Aim】 |
|
VLSI systems can execute various information processing functions at high-speed and with efficiency, and then playing a significant role in achieving advanced information processing systems. Microprocessors, kernels of VLSI systems, and software technologies, like OS and compilers, are lectured. Furthermore, design examples at product levels are also introduced.
