Recursos de Laboratório
Para uso fora do IFSC dos recursos computacionais com licença educacional, o IFSC disponibiliza para seus alunos o IFSC-CLOUD. Atualmente a forma mais eficiente de acesso é através do Cliente X2GO. O procedimento de instalação/ configuração e uso do Quartus/Modelsim/QSIM está descrito em Acesso ao IFSC-CLOUD#Cliente X2GO (recomendado).

Homework 1
Download the Operator Sharing Source Code (qar) or Operator Sharing Source Code (qar.zip) and, for each architecture of each one of the three examples, do the following:
- Choose one of the available FPGA families for your project (e.g. Cyclone IV GX);
- Select the "Fastest" "Speed grade";
- Select the smallest device available in the family;
- For each architecture of the example, compile the it, analyze the RTL output, and take note of the number of logic elements/LUTs consumed, and of the highest delay in the circuit;
- Change to the largest device available in the family;
- For each architecture of the example, compile the it, analyze the RTL output, and take note of the number of logic elements/LUTs consumed, and of the highest delay in the circuit;
Write a report containing the numeric results of your experiments. For each example, answer the following questions:
- Was there any differences between the RTL generated for each architecture? Why did this happen (or not)?
- Was there any differences between the RTL generated, for the same architecture, for different devices? Why did this happen (or not)?
Email the results to the professors until 17/02/2015.
