Learning outcomes

The aim of the course is to provide the theory and practice to implement an algorithm in hardware, exploring a spectrum of options ranging from dedicated specialized devices to programs on a gene-ral-purpose processor. The students will understand how a processor works and how a high-level program is translated into machine language and then executed. At the end of the course, the students will be able to design specialized hardware for simple algo-rithms; translate simple programs from an high-level specification to machine language
