  • Congratulations & thanks

    Posted by Oliver Diessel Tuesday 11 August 2026, 10:37:50 AM.

    Thanks for the effort you have all made in preparing final project presentations and demos over the previous two weeks! I have been very impressed to see you all get your projects to the demonstration stage - running on the Kria board. This is a huge jump in capability compared with previous COMP4601 classes. I appreciate the work you have done given the new version of the Vivado/Vitis tools we used and the changes made to the lab assignments. I'm particularly indebted to Chia-Wei, Lesley and Tony (in no particular order) who all went beyond the call of duty in helping in the lab. Overall, along with my colleagues, I'm immensely proud of the technical accomplishments and the professionalism you have demonstrated (so far) in your last core Comp Eng course. Well done!

  • Return Kria boards ASAP please

    Hi all - the boards are needed for COMP3601 in Term 3. Please return them as soon as possible and definitely by the end of the exam period.

    Please leave the SD cards you were separately given inserted in the card reader on the board. Your return of the card will be checked when you return your board.

  • Lab 2 & Seminar results available

    Posted by Oliver Diessel Friday 07 August 2026, 11:59:14 AM.

    Lab 2 submissions have been marked and feedback is available for retrieval.

    I have released the seminar presentation and participation scores. These can be obtained here: https://cgi.cse.unsw.edu.au/~give/Student/sturec.php . Seminar presentation scores are based on the average of peer scores received and adjusted to fit a minimum score of 4/10 and a maximum of 10/10 (the range of my assessments). Seminar participation was obtained by a more complicated formula based on the number of assessments provided with deductions for providing skewed scores (i.e. giving mostly if not all 5).

    Project plans have been assessed, but the final presentations, demos and reports as well as individual contributions and reflections are yet to be assessed. Together, these components contribute 30% to your final mark in the course.

    The Raw Result scores provide a total progressive mark to date out of 70.

    Please remember that next Monday's presentations are in EEG03 from 11AM - 1:30PM, and demos will be in Brass from 2:30 - 5:15PM.
