EDA Tools Forum: Panel 2 [Bipin Parmer]

This presentation is from the 2nd Panel Session at the EDA Tools Forum. EDA (electronic design automation) is an integral part of the microelectronics industry, enabling silicon designers to meet their ever increasing chip and system requirements despite the rapid advances in silicon technology, design complexity and performance specifications. In order to achieve the full potential of the continuous scaling down of CMOS technology, it is important that the EDA industry continues to innovate and develop design methods and tools capable of addressing new and challenging design problems, such as hardware/software co-design, specification and design languages, low-cost verification and testing, and interconnect delay problems.
