LABORATORIES

VLSI Lab

This lab was developed for graduate/undergraduate students who take VLSI courses: EL547 and EL644. It has also been used by graduate students to implement VLSI chips for the research in high-speed networking and signal processing. Currently, we have 10 workstations equipped with the state-of-the-art VLSI design tools donated by Mentor Graphics Corp.



High-Speed Networking Lab

This lab provides hand-on opportunity for students to conduct high-speed networking experiments, such as video conference and multimedia communications. Currently, we have an ATM switch with 8 ports, each input port operating at more than 100 Mbit/s. The switch will be connected to a WAN, called NYNET, through two optical fibers provided by NYNEX.
