From Algorithms to Architectures: Isomorphic Mapping and Efficiency Assessment

This lecture covers the process of mapping algorithms to hardware architectures, focusing on isomorphic mapping where each operation corresponds to a dedicated hardware unit. It explains the straightforward representation of algorithms as data flow graphs and the transformation approach to optimization. The lecture also delves into assessing efficiency metrics such as timing, throughput, circuit complexity, and power consumption, highlighting the challenges and trade-offs involved in hardware design.
