The Homework 4 deadline has been extened one day to 11 November 2021. As with all compute assignments, the deadline is on midnight (the point in time when 11 November changes to 12 November here in the central standard time zone. Also, a better description of multi-cycle commands has been added to the Homework 4 handout. In addition a ≥ has been changed to a ≤.

10 November 2021, 9:11:48 CST
The Homework 4 synthesis script, syn.tcl, had an error that prevented it from running. The copy at /home/faculty/koppel/pub/ee4755/hw/2021/hw04/syn.tcl is now correct. You can either copy that file, or if you prefer, edit your existing file. To edit your file change
set params  {
  { { size_bits 16 } { w 4 } }
  { { size_bits 32 } { w 4 } }
  { { size_bits 32 } { w 8 } }
}
to
set params  {
  { { wb 16 } { wi 4 } }
  { { wb 32 } { wi 4 } }
  { { wb 32 } { wi 8 } }
}
I'd like to thank the student that alerted me to the problem.
