DO NOT-List

Motivation

• Why VLSI-project?• What is the aim? NOT important to other listeners as fundamental info on the project is

familiar to everyone and should not be repeated

• Tool issues, delays due to private appointments NOT important either

Facts to present

Design and architecture:

Figures to be given to describe your transformation design:• Chosen adders, multipliers• Algorithmic/architectual/component enhancements

• Optimizations (explain WHY they were chosen)

• What did you expect?• What does theory promise?

Flow for the presentation

Recommended flow for reasoning:

1. Observations: What do/did you observe in your design?– Problems, drawbacks, potential enhancements …

2. Do your observations leave room for optimizations?– What do you expect to change?

– What does theory promise?

3. Present and discuss results of the implemented optimizations– Conclude based on your results (e.g. approach was reasonable,

unsuccessful)

4. Outlook on next steps/optimizations– Is there room for further optimization? Why? What do you plan to do?
