Get moving on these
Can we get moving on some of these? --Short Circuit 23:00, 7 November 2007 (MST)
Task guidelines?
Moved to Village Pump:Home/Task creation process discussion
LZW compression and decompression
Sir, I introduce myself as a student pursuing my Mtech VLSI Design in INDIA I am in need of LZW compression and decompression coding in VERILOG HDL Can anyone help.
If possible, send me the coding to,
manekantan@gmail.com
Thanks in advance, Regards, Manikandan
Assertions
Are there enough languages that use assertions to warrant a task for them? I know Java, C, and C++ have them, but I'm not sure about other languages. Also, do assertions work similarly enough across all of the languages to make comparison worthwhile? --Mwn3d 21:22, 3 February 2009 (UTC)
