From Algorithms to Architectures

This lecture covers the transition from algorithms to hardware architectures in digital system design. Starting from algorithm specifications, the lecture discusses isomorphic architectures, VHDL implementation, and the efficiency of combinational circuits. It explains the mapping of algorithms to hardware, the use of isomorphic architecture, and the design procedure example in VHDL. The lecture also delves into sequential processing in custom hardware, datapath design, and the assessment of hardware efficiency through metrics like timing, throughput, latency, circuit complexity, and power consumption.
