Ride The Wave of Change
Get the Flash Player to see this movie.
The compounding forces caused by advances in process technology and shrinking consumer electronics market cycles have created major hurdles for System-on-Chip design teams. Advances in process technology provide the capacity for ever increasing capabilities demanded by the marketplace, but come at the price of exponentially increasing design complexity. These forces are brought on by a dramatic step function in on-chip bandwidth and communication bottlenecks, complications in routing and timing of wires that span long distances, global timing closure, control of chip power consumption and the ability to architect devices that can be implemented within the short market windows allowed. Recent advances from both academia and industry have introduced new tools and methodologies that can be used to reduce design complexity and risk, thereby reducing time to money!
