RESEARCH AREAS

  

Increasing Cost of Customization

Example: Design with
80 M transistors in
100 nm technology
Estimated Cost -
$85 M -$90 M
  • Cost and Risk rising to unacceptable levels
  • Top cost drivers
    • Verification (40%)
    • Architecture Design (23%)
    • Embedded Software Design
      • 1400 man months (SW)
      • 1150 man months (HW)

 

 

Goal: ~50x improvement in NRE costs and time-to-market
