Hyper-Optimization Techniques 3: Shannon’s Decomposition (OS10SHAN)

Course Description

Are you targeting a Stratix® 10 device and wanting to learn how your design can reach the maximum core performance?

The is the 3rd of 3 online courses that teaches advanced optimization techniques for the Stratix 10 HyperFlex™ Architecture.

In this course, you will learn how to use Shannon’s Decomposition to shrink critical chain loops to achieve breakthrough levels of operating clock frequency (fmax) in your design thus unleashing the full potential of the Stratix 10 HyperFlex architecture.

Note: While the focus of this course is the Stratix 10 device family, many of the techniques you will learn can be used to improve performance in other device architectures.
