Computer Science 343 - Laboratory Instructor: Jean Herbst Office: E129 Science Center Phone: x3162 Email: jherbst@wellesley.edu Office Hours: Tuesday 11:00 - 12:30 and Wednesday 4:00 - 5:30, and by appointment (Note - Jean works part time and is in only on Tuesday and Wednesday) Introduction In CS 343 Laboratory, students will design a simple, pipelined RISC-style microprocessor, using the Hardware Description Language VHDL. The labs are structured to allow the students to gradually acquire necessary skills and build up smaller, less complex components in the initial phases of the project. These simpler components will then be combined into more complex elements which illustrate and implement more advanced concepts, as they are introduced in lecture. Schedule Laboratory meets 5:30 - 8:30, Wednesday, in Room E125 of the Science Center. Requirements Weekly attendance and completion of all lab exercises is required. If you must miss lab because of illness or other good reason, I expect you to notify me ahead of time, and I will then allow you to schedule a time to make up your lab with me. That will normally have to be some time on Tuesday or Wednesday, since that is when I am on campus. Also, you must make up the lab before the next lab meeting. Grading As stated in the syllabus, the laboratory accounts for 25% of your grade in the course. Completing all labs is mandatory - you will receive no lab credit if you miss one or more sessions. Laboratories Documentation for each laboratory includes a set of notes and accompanying exercises. Notes and exercises are available from the Lab Materials folder in the CS343-S08 FirstClass Conference. Read and review these before class, and bring a hard copy of each with you to lab.
