Borkar. 2011. “The past 20 years were the ‘great old days’; the next 20 years will hopefully be the ‘pretty good new days’ ”. EE 194: Advanced VLSI Spring 2018 Tufts University Instructor: Joel Grodstein joel.grodstein@tufts.edu Verification What is verification? The design process (highly simplified) Talk to your customer EE 194 Advanced VLSI Spring 2018 Tufts University Instructor: Joel Grodstein joel.grodstein@tufts.edu Lecture 2: Moore's Law, Scaling and power Technology scaling Everyone has heard of Moore’s Law. It’s probably been mentioned in most newspapers at some point. But what does it really mean? EE 194: Advanced VLSI Spring 2018 Tufts University Instructor: Joel Grodstein joel.grodstein@tufts.edu Clocking Clocking What we’ll learn: Conditional clocking: implementation and timing Clock-distribution networks: how to send one signal to a million destinations EE 194/Bio 196 Joel Grodstein EE 194/BIO 196: Modeling biological systems Spring 2018 Tufts University Instructor: Joel Grodstein joel.grodstein@tufts.edu if then, logical types Demo a bubble sort with cards EE 194 Advanced VLSI Spring 2018 Tufts University Instructor: Joel Grodstein joel.grodstein@tufts.edu Lecture 8: Biological computing Computers are made of… Transistors. Lots of them! How many transistors on an Nvidia Volta?

Tufts University. Instructor: Joel . Grodstein. joelg@eecs.tufts.edu. Discrete-event simulation. What's in a gate?. A gate has a voltage transfer function, but we'll ignore that here. Inputs and outputs are just 0 or 1.. joel.grodstein@tufts.edu. Day #1. What we (won’t) build. https://xkcd.com/730/. This is a class about bioelectricity. We will . not. be building circuits like the comic (Darn!). EE 123 Joel Grodstein.
