Short description
Unique with its RTL-early organization, Vahid's text supports instructors wishing to develop strong design skills in their students. The emergence of parallel processing, multicore processors and FPGAs are blurring the lines between hardware and software and fundamentally altering the way digital design and design logic should be taught. Vahid's RTL-early approach better assists students in grasping the essential design fundamentals before digging into specific details of design optimization.
