Get introduced to hardware description languages: SystemC, VHDL and Verilog. To use hardware description languages for synthesis of logic circuits in the automated digital design. Understand the process of synthesis of digital integrated circuit, starting from HDL code up to the Field programmable gate array.

After the completion of this course, the students will have the knowledge of the architectures with high performance. They will understand the systems that are used for high performance computing and they will have the knowledge for algorithm speedup by their analysis and transformation based on available hardware infrastructure especially on their processor and memory hierarchy. 

The aim of the course is students to understand the need of designing effective communication between users and computers. Upon completion of the course the student is expected to demonstrate knowledge of all aspects of user interfaces, to know how to model and implement user interfaces for applications according to user requirements and available equipment and to know how to test and evaluate interfaces of existing systems. 

Upon the completion of the course the student is expected to rule and use the basic tools and methods for image processing.
