Teaching Interests - John A. Nestor
I am interested in teaching all aspects of computer engineering, with
particular interest in basic and advanced digital design, Design using
Hardware Description Languages (HDLs), FPGA-based
design, computer organization and architecture, VLSI Design, VLSI CAD
Algorithms, Design Projects, and the interaction between technological
advance and intellectual property law & policy.
I am also involved in developing
visualization tools for concepts in VLSI, VLSI CAD, and Computer
Architecture.
Teaching Resources
- CADAPPLETS Project -
Applets for visualizing VLSI CAD Algorithms.
- Verilog files for MIPS processor design examples in Patterson &
Hennesey's Computer Organization and Design:
-
PowerPoint slides for my Course ECE 313 - Computer
Organization based on Patterson & Hennessey's book (Spring
2012 version).
- Magic files for the analog
comparator layout described in my 2002 ASEE Paper with David
Rich (designed for the AMI 1.5um process)
