Minimum Expression Finder for 3,4, and 5 Variable Logical Functions.
By Blair Taylor

Mentor: Dr.Hakduran Koc

This research project will create a solution to automate the timely process of simplifying Boolean equations that represent the behavior of a circuit. This will be accomplished by implementing algorithms based off the Quine-McClusky and prime implicant chart methods in a C program. This program will be able to supports 3,4, and 5 variable equations.

Parameterizable Designs on Neural Networks with Chisel HCL.
By Benjamin Garrett

Mentor: Dr. Xiaokun Yang

The field-programmable gate array (FPGA) vendors like Intel/Altera and AMD/Xilinx let designers create complex circuits by instantiating and interconnecting intellectual properties (IPs) from their provided tools like Vivado and Quartus. The IPs are configurable and reusable by FPGA designs but not open to the simulators like Synopsys VCS, Cadence NC, and Mentor Graphic Modelsim/Questa. Therefore, this proposal presents a parameterizable neural network design including fundamental computational operators like adders, multipliers, exponential functions, etc. The Chisel Hardware Construction Language (HCL) is employed to build the configurable designs, making each design module configurable with precisions including half-word, word, double-word, and quad-word. Chisel HCL is an open-source embedded domain-specific language which inherits the object-oriented and functional programming aspects of Scala for constructing hardware. Compared with traditional Verilog/VHLD Hardware Description Language (HDL), Chisel is scalable to the structural level of designs and suitable to the arithmetic implementations.

Number Fields and O*-fields.
By Kenneth Evans

Mentor:Dr. Jingjing Ma

A number field F is a subfield of complex field C which is finate dimension over rational field ! as a vector space over Q. F is called an O*-field if each partial order on F can be extended to a toal order on F. For instance Q[sqrt2] is O*, however Q[4root of 2] is not O* (Steinberg, 1997).The current research will continue the work in J. Ma, (preprint).
