ELECTRONIC DESIGN PROCESSES (EDP) 2010 SYMPOSIUM WORKSHOP

APRIL 8-9, 2010

MONTEREY BEACH HOTEL, MONTEREY, CALIFORNIA

The Electronic Design Processes (EDP) Symposium Workshop, now in its 17th year, fosters the free exchange of ideas among the top thinkers, movers, and shakers who focus on how chips and systems are designed in the electronics industry. It provides a forum for this cross-section of the Design community to discuss state-of-the-art improvements to electronics design processes and CAD methodologies, rather than on the functions of the individual tools themselves.

The Workshop, which takes place each year in Monterey, California, emphasized both the here and now and the future. Attendees of this elite workshop have met each year since 1993. It has attracted some of the most far-seeing people in electronics as speakers. If you need to know where the industry is and where it's going with respect to the design and development, and especially methodologies and technology of design, you should consider attending this coming year.

THEMES IN 2010: 3D ICs, Cloud Computing, Multi-Processors and More (than Moore)

We solicited papers and proposals for special/panel sessions that shed light on the methodologies used for real current and future chip and system designs. Topics included but were not limited to:

  • Cloud computing and the Design Process: a good fit or a forced marriage?
  • Beyond 2019 - what will succeed, or at least supplement, CMOS?
  • Multi-Core Programming/Implications for the design process
  • Process/Device Characterization, Modeling implications, Flow Integration, Scaling, and Migration
  • Methodology Trends: Impact of the Design Manufacturing Interface, Interoperability, Impact of the Web, Licensing Models, and Platforms
  • Fresh Approaches to Traditional EDA Problems
  • 3D ICs
  • Status of EDA Industry - How is EDA helping Semi and end-application companies through the current crisis?
