Design Optimization

Introduction

The area of design optimization is where the performance of a

design can be made drastically better than an initial naïve imple-

mentation. Before discussing details of how to make the designs

optimal for the individual goals of speed, area and power, the ‘big

three’ for design optimization generally in digital design and par-

ticularly for Field Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGAs), it is

useful to discuss some principles of what happens when we syn-

thesize a function into hardware.

There are two main areas for optimization of the design when

working with VHDL for FPGAs and these are in the optimization

of the Register Transfer Level (RTL) VHDL which is leading

to an optimal description of the VHDL in terms of logic expres- ...

Head of Cybersecurity

I wanted to learn C and C++, but it didn't click for me until I picked up an O'Reilly book. When I went on the O’Reilly platform, I was astonished to find all the books there, plus live events and sandboxes so you could play around with the technology.

Addison B.

Field Engineer

I’ve been on the O’Reilly platform for more than eight years. I use a couple of learning platforms, but I'm on O'Reilly more than anybody else. When you're there, you start learning. I'm never disappointed.

Amir M.

Data Platform Tech Lead

I'm always learning. So when I got on to O'Reilly, I was like a kid in a candy store. There are playlists. There are answers. There's on-demand training. It's worth its weight in gold, in terms of what it allows me to do.
