Teaching

My favorite teaching topic is hardware/software codesign. It's a topic that goes to the core of computer engineering: How do we build efficient digital machines? Software programmers would say: by writing better code. Hardware designers would say: by building faster hardware. Codesigners know how to make the proper choice between the two.
