Gergely Nagy: THERMINATOR – Training 2eet.bme.hu

Objectives► Preparation of course materials on thermal-aware

design Introductory course Advanced course

► Planning, organization, advertisment and execution of courses At thermal and EDA conferences (such as THERMINIC,

DATE, PATMOS, ESSCIRC, ICECS)

Gergely Nagy: THERMINATOR – Training 3eet.bme.hu

Introductory courses► For designers/researchers having little or no

knowledge about thermal-aware design► Proposed contents

Extended theoretical backgrounds State-of-the-art technologies Brief introduction to EDA tools and flows Thermal basics

Gergely Nagy: THERMINATOR – Training 4eet.bme.hu

Advanced courses► For designers with thermal design background► Proposed contents:

State-of-the-art design techniques Thermal aware design tools and flows Results of the R&D work in Therminator The integration of newly developed tools into existing

design flows
