The digital circuits laboratory is a computer-based lab, featured with software useful to design, analyse and simulate the performance of digital circuits, of either combinational or sequential type. The VLSI test laboratory was founded based on industrial grade design automation tools provided by Mentor, a Siemens Business. This software comprises several best-in-class EDA solutions, used to generate, simulate, and apply production test patterns for digital circuits and systems. During classes, students learn how to automate the process of test generation, fault simulation, test point insertion, and fault diagnosis. Furthermore, they are taught basics of modern HDL design for testability (using Verilog), test compression, and built-in self-test. Digital Circuits & VLSI Testing Laboratories The software engineering laboratory is a comprehensive learning center, providing students with the opportunity to learn key skills in programming, algorithm design, and working with web technologies and ICT networks. It includes an airconditioned room equipped with 18 PCs connected to the Internet, allowing hands-on learning in a comfortable environment. Each of the 18 PCs is installed with the MS Windows 10 and Linux Ubuntu operating systems, allowing students to choose the platform that suits their preferences or the requirements of the task at hand.Software Engineering Laboratory The computer cluster consists of 39 AMD processors with clock rate ranging from 3.0 to 4.0 GHz, total core number is equal to 316 and total RAM installed exceeds 400 GB. Such a configuration allows for independent usage of the each of available cores. The computing cluster itself is operated by Linux-based CentOS, whereas the management of cluster cores and processes is performed by means of Perceus and SLURM software, respectively. Sequential and parallel computations are allowed. Such flexibility allows for efficient cluster use in various research and teaching tasks in the field of wireless communications.
