This project will provide undergraduate students in computer science, computer engineering, microelectronic engineering, and electrical engineering the opportunity to design, implement, and test significant digital systems. It will provide the necessary equipment for a new computer architecture laboratory. This laboratory will be used primarily by students in two new undergraduate concentrations: the 3- course digital systems design concentration in computer science and the 2-course very large scale integration (VLSI) design sequence in computer engineering. It will be used by microelectronic engineering students to provide functional testing of integrated circuits (IC's) fabricated at RIT. Three new computer aided design (CAD) workstations will provide schematic capture and simulation at the functional, logic, switch, and circuit level. They will also include capabilities for board placement, routing, and layout, as well as integrated circuit layout. A fourth workstation will be used for testing boards and IC's. It includes 32 bits each of pattern generation and state analysis. Additional equipment includes oscilloscopes and 2 multibus computer systems. The multibus systems will provide the computer interface for boards designed by students. The oscilloscopes will be used to analyze and debug boards and other circuits. The project will produce computer science students with greatly increased competence in hardware and embedded systems. It will result in computer engineering students who have considerable experience in the design of complete systems involving VLSI components. It will also provide new undergraduate research opportunities for seniors in both disciplines.

这个项目将为计算机科学的本科生， 计算机工程、微电子工程和电气 工程设计的机会，设计，实施和测试的重要 数字系统。 它将提供必要的设备， 计算机体系结构实验室 该实验室将用于 主要由两个新本科专业的学生组成：3- 课程数字系统设计集中在计算机科学和 2-计算机中的超大规模集成电路设计序列课程 工程. 它将被微电子工程专业的学生用来 提供集成电路（IC）的功能测试， 是的。 三个新的计算机辅助设计工作站将提供 功能、逻辑、开关和 电路级。它们还将包括董事会布局的能力， 布线和布局以及集成电路布局。 第四 工作站将用于测试板和IC。 其中包括32 位的模式生成和状态分析。 额外 设备包括示波器和2个多总线计算机系统。 的 多总线系统将为设计的板提供计算机接口 被学生们 示波器将用于分析和调试电路板 和其他电路。 该项目将产生计算机科学专业的学生， 提高硬件和嵌入式系统的能力。 其将导致 在计算机工程专业的学生谁有相当的经验， 涉及VLSI组件的完整系统设计。 它还将 为这两个领域的大四学生提供新的本科研究机会 学科
