Courses
Design and Optimization of Internet-of-Things Systems
This course provides a complete overview of the most relevant subfields related to Internet of Things (IoT) systems, it presents the perspectives and the underlying technologies, with a particular focus on edge AI architectures and software (AI and TinyML algorithms), communication and Cloud systems
Lab on hardware-software digital systems codesign
This course explores hardware-software co-design techniques to develop heterogeneous multi-core embedded systems running Linux on FPGAs. The course explores high-level synthesis tools (HLS) to design hardware accelerators that reduce total execution time and energy consumption for complex tasks.
Microprogrammed Embedded Systems
The student will understand the architectures of embedded microprogrammed systems, microprocessor architectures, memory hierarchies, and various Input/Output (I/O) devices, using the Nintendo DS handheld platform as a case study.
