Cadence University Program Member


Research Project Spotlight

The VLSI Computation Laboratory, led by Prof. Bevan Baas, used Cadence tools to design and perform pre-silicon verification on a globally-asynchronous locally-synchronous (GALS) array of simple processors which enables energy efficient implementations of complex digital signal processing applications. More details on the AsAP-1 chip can be found here.
