CVR's Center for VLSI Design dedicated to Prof. Magdy Bayoumi, IEEE Fellow

The Center for VLSI Design was honored by the visit of Prof. Magdy Bayoumi, IEEE Fellow and Director, Center for Advanced Computer Studies, University of Louisiana, USA on February 19th, 2006. In the honor of his visit, CVR has dedicated the Center to him and renamed the Center as Prof. Magdy Bayoumi Center for VLSI Design.

CVR was one stop on Prof. Bayoumi's tour that included IISc, Bangalore, IIT Delhi and BITS Pilani. This shows the importance of CVR's Center for VLSI Design.

Prof. Magdy Bayoumi lauded the efforts made by CVR in setting up the Center for VLSI Design and praised the students doing the projects in VLSI Design. He interacted with all the student teams after delivering his guest lecture on wireless sensors.

The Center continues to do stellar projects for BE students in their final year. Sun workstations have also been acquired in summer of 2005 to enable DSM package. Complete front to back end VLSI Design tools are now available at the Center.

CVR establishes Center for VLSI Design - Cadence donates VLSI design tools

A Center for VLSI Design was established in December 2003 at CVR that includes the VLSI Design tools from Cadence Design Systems, Inc of USA. It is the third such institution in AP after NIT Warangal and IIIT, Hyderabad.

The Center is being led by its Director Prof. RVB Chary, former Professor & Head, Department of ECE, Osmania University College of Engineering.

The Center will have industry-standard state-of-art VLSI EDA tools. The software consists of Cadence® simulation, verification, layout and place-and-route tools, as well as Encounter(TM) RTL Compiler--a global synthesis technology-based solution that delivers the highest quality of silicon - speed, area, and power as measured with wires. The hardware consists of a network of over 35 top of the line Workstations each with Pentium 4 processor, 512MB RAM, Redhat Linux OS and 17in monitors and a dual-processor Xeon based Server.
