Difference between revisions of "File:TFPIE2013 Hardware Design Using Clash.pdf"

In order to bring the theory of embedded computer architectures into practice, a practical assignment has been developed where students design digital hardware using the functional hardware description language ClaSH. The assignment focuses on specifying the structure of FIR filters and analyzing the resulting hardware. By working through the assignment, students gain insight in the use of higher-order functions in the context of hardware design. It also shows that the declarative aspect of functional programming also applies to functional hardware design.
