The course aims to give a thorough understanding in Computer Arithmetics especially with a focus on algorithms and architectures. Increasing complexity and high requirements on performance in the form of throughput and low power consumption will increase the expectations from future designers. To have a solid base in this subject is one of the skills that are important for both circuit designers as well as system designers.

Seminarieföredrag av deltagarna

Seminars based on the textbook material and seminars based on research papers, where the students will give seminars. At least 80% attendance on the seminars is demanded. The students will be offered a number of hand-in exercises to choose among. Certain flexibility is needed in the examination form depending on the number of students. Rules for reexamination: By agreement with the examiner
