University of New Hampshire Offers Computer Architecture Course Focusing on Cypress’s PSoC® Programmable System-on-Chip

Cypress Semiconductor Corp. (Nasdaq:CY), today announced that the University of New Hampshire (UNH) College of Engineering and Physical Sciences is offering a new course highlighting the PSoC® programmable system-on-chip. The course, open to interested students and the community at large (for continuing education credits), is part of the Far View Distance Learning Program at UNH, allowing students to take the course remotely.

The course is entitled: ECE 960 - Computer Architecture: Sensorized, Controllable, and Reconfigurable Generalized Networked Computing. The first class is on January 26, 2011 at 5:00 p.m. EST and continues on Monday and Wednesday evenings from 5:00 p.m. to 6:30 p.m. EST . The course will focus on the development of a vital electronics subsystem called GNAT (Global Network Academic Testbed). There are laboratories in the course on in-situ hardware development of PSoC-based vital electronics embedded GNATs. The class will also cover parallel and pipeline processing; associative and stack computers; microprogramming; virtual memory, application-centric computing, cyber-physical systems, ”Internet of Things;” and other current topics.

“We’re pleased to offer this important course to our students and community members,” said Professor Andrzej Rucinski, the course architect and professor. “I believe the principles covered in this course are essential in designing and understanding GNATs. The PSoC architecture is a perfect platform for this subject matter.”

“It's gratifying to see an increasing number of universities around the world continue to adopt PSoC as an integral part of their curricula,” said Patrick Kane, director of Cypress’s University Alliance. “Professor Rucinski has developed a course that will be of great benefit to both current students and to practicing engineers who want to stay ahead of the curve in embedded design.”
