Homework 3 and Homework 4 assigned, they are due Wednesday, 7 October and Friday, 9 October 2015Monday, 12 October, respectively. Homework 3 is paper-only, Homework 4 requires running Verilog simulation and synthesis programs. Those solving Homework 3 who want dazzling syntax-highlighted versions of the modules can get them in this HTMLized Homework 4 Verilog file. (The modules needed for Homework 3 are in the file for Homeowrk 4.) For best results, start early and ask for help if you need it.

Homework 2 Warning: Infinite recursion will cause the Verilog simulator to seem to hang and may leave your design database in a corrupted state. If this happens kill the compilation window or just exit Emacs. Make sure that min_t (1) only instantiates another min_t module if its input parameters are above some value and (2) that the min_t modules are instantiated with smaller values of some parameters.
