advantages and limitations. In biochips the microfluidic channel circuitry on the chip is equipped with chip-integrated microvalves that are used to manipulate the on-chip fluid flow. By combining several microvalves, more complex units like mixers, micropumps, multiplexers etc. can be built up, with hundreds of units being accommodated on one single chip. In biochips, the liquid is manipulated as discrete droplets on an electrode array. For both types of biochip, the synthesis process, starting from a biochemical application and a given biochip architecture, determines the resource allocation, binding, scheduling and placement of the application operations, resembling the mapping process for multi-core platforms. The course will illustrate how
