On Teaching Hardware/Software Co-design using FPGA

摘要

Computer and electrical engineers are involved in the design of computer-based systems to address highly-specialized and specific applications in computer, aerospace, telecommunication, power-production, manufacturing, defense and electronic industries. Modem real-time embedded systems need to perform tasks that are very demanding and require a great degree of sophistication. They need to be able to handle a mixture of data-intensive and control-oriented tasks. They need to have architectural support for multi-tasking, multithreading, concurrency, polling, interrupts and preemption, as well as user and supervisor modes of operation [1].
