Effective digital hardware design fundamentally requires decomposing a design into a set of
interconnected modules, each a distinct unit of computation and state. However, naively …

The rapid transition to online education due to the COVID-19 pandemic left many instructors
needing to redesign their course projects as students no longer had access to physical …

We describe our experience teaching an undergraduate capstone (and elective graduate
course) in computer architecture with a semester-long project in which teams of five students …

Agile hardware design techniques take the best of software engineering methods and apply
them to improve hardware design productivity. Agile approaches not only reduce the time to …

In our computer organization course, Logisim-evolution has been used for: building on the
digital logic design topics, describing instruction-set design choices, implementing a single …

The most widely used languages and methods used for designing digital hardware fall into
two rough categories. One of them, register transfer level (RTL), requires specifying each …

Introductory-level computer architecture courses often rely on programs with a graphical
user interface (such as Logisim) for processor design projects. While these tools provide an …

Operating Systems (OS), as a core course in Computer Science, is given much attention by
all universities all over the world. Labs are the most important part of the course, and …

rvcodec. js is an open-source, online RISC-V instruction encoder-decoder, specifically
geared towards students learning about instruction formats. For improved usability, rvcodec …

This thesis covers the creation of an automated testing library and tests for an introductory-
level embedded course. It explores the difficulties with the implementation and deployment …
