De 19 a 23 de novembro, a pesquisadora Melanie Berg estará ministrando um curso de 15h e palestras no Instituto de Informática da UFRGS.
Veja a programação.

O curso irá apresentar as principais técnicas de projeto de circuitos síncronos em FPGA para aplicações espaciais, técnicas de tolerância a falhas em FPGAs, o processo de revisão dos projetos na NASA e terá uma parte prática para implementar a técnica de correção de erros em FPGAs, denominada scrubbing.

Ms. Berg began her career in 1988 as an ASIC designer working for various companies such as IBM and STMicro Electronics. During this time, she was part of an engineering group that further developed and documented the synchronous design methodology as is implemented today.

Ms. Berg later switched to FPGA design for space applications. She has been a part of development teams for a variety of space crafts and instruments targeted for deep space. Melanie Berg is currently with the NASA Goddard Radiation Effects and Analysis Group. Her responsibilities include researching the susceptibility of FPGA and ASIC devices to radiation effects, developing and analyzing mitigation strategies, establishing FPGA test methodology, and performing design reviews for a variety of NASA sponsored FPGA and ASIC designs.
