1. Novel Method of ASIC interface IP development using HLS
University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för elektro- och informationsteknikAbstract : High-Level Synthesis(HLS) is a design methodology that enables designers to implement hardware from high-level coding languages, such as C, C++, or System C. It provides designers with the ability to convey their design at a higher level of abstraction, which allows more emphasis on an algorithm and functional aspects of design instead on low-level hardware details.

2. Exploring Ethernet Switching Architectures for Area-Efficient Low-End Switches
University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för elektro- och informationsteknikAbstract : The aim of this thesis project has been to develop an architecture for L2 ethernet switches that would be optimized for silicon area, targeting smaller low-end switches. A selection was made of three different switching architectures, which were compared and analyzed to explore the benefits and drawbacks of different approaches. READ MORE

3. High Level Synthesis for ASIC and FPGA
University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för elektro- och informationsteknikAbstract : This thesis aims to evaluate the performance of Siemens’ High Level Synthesis (HLS) tool Catapult. HLS can be considered the next step up in abstraction level from writing traditional Register Transfer Level (RTL) code which is time consuming and error prone. READ MORE

4. Exploiting Spatial Redundancy and Approximate Computing for Area Efficient Image Compression
University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för elektro- och informationsteknikAbstract : Owing to the intensive computation involved in the Discrete Cosine Transform during image com- pression, the design of the efficient hardware architectures for fast computation of the transform has become imperative, especially for real-time applications. Although fast computation techniques have been able to minimise the hardware computation complexity to a certain limit, they could further extend the research to figure out the interesting approaches which can be implemented on applications where power, speed and area are crucial factors to determine the performance of the system.

5. D-band Power Amplifiers in Vertical InGaAs Nanowire MOSFET Technology for 100 Gbps Wireless Communication
University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för elektro- och informationsteknikAbstract : Two different topologies of power amplifiers (PAs) are designed in the frequency range 130-174.8 GHz for use in backhaul transmitters. These are the pseudo-differential common source (PDCS) and the single-ended stacked amplifier topologies. READ MORE
