Experience

• Over 20 years experience in digital design, software design, and VLSI design..
• Generation of synthesizable VHDL
• Design of  "set-top-box" control logic, memory controllers, CPU interfaces, DMA subsystems, video subsystems, video encoders.
• Various multi-media core functions
• Microcontroller cores
• Generation of technology independent standard cell layout generators and utilities.
• Extensive experience with Mentor Graphics GDT (Led, Lx) and ICgen (Nx).
• Generation of synthesis libraries.
• System Architecture
• Systems in silicon
• Partitioning
• Simulation
• Specified and modeled architecture for RISC/3D next generation Amiga Architecture (Hombre).  Developed C and M (Lsim) behavioral models of RISC core (PA-RISC) and graphics rendering engine (shading and texture mapping).  Two-chip set  could be configured as a complete game system or set-top-box.  Could also be expanded for other configurations.
• Software Design
• Ported GCC to a proprietary RISC processor.
• System Emulation
• Teach graduate courses in System Modeling and Design, Computer Architecture, and VLSI Design at Villanova University.
• Clients include Mentor Graphics, Worldgate Communications, GMT MicroElectronics, Sarnoff Corporation, ...
