Abstract

Due to the increasing complexity of integrated circuits it is becoming more difficult to teach all design steps on the basis of real-world examples submitted to realistic constraints. This turns out to be a problem especially in the design of reconfigurable architectures since they will often be integrated with other components. Therefore we developed a framework which gives students the opportunity to test any desired design in a realistic environment. This framework is based on TTAs (Transport Triggers Architectures) which enables the design of simple but universal processors.
