EDP-2002 @ICCAD Attendees • Bill Bell, ASIC Methodology/Metrics, TI • David Hathaway, Design Tool Integration, Incremental Integration, IBM • Sandeep Shukla, High-Level Methodology, UC Irvine • Naresh Sehgal, Intel-HP Alliance Mgr, Intel • Dwight Hill, Physical Synthesis / PD, Synopsys • Takahide Inouye, STARC / Oakland • Margarida Jacome, UT Austin • Gary Smith, Gartner/Dataquest • Andrew Kahng, UC San Diego • Stefanus Mantik, Metrics and Design Process Optimization, UCLA / Cadence
EDP-2002 @ICCAD Agenda, I • Naresh Sehgal: Overview of history / culture of EDPS and EDP • Not an ICCAD; should maintain workshop flavor; informality • General Organization of EDP-2002 • Dates: April 22-23, same hotel, same rates, same block / guarantee sizes, same unpublished workshop notes, … • Target audience: product groups (methodologists, integrators), not “corporate CAD” • Target audience may change slightly from year to year (Bill) • “Methodology” is like “Design” – many themes possible
EDP-2002 @ICCAD Agenda, II • Gary Smith: TPC and Program Organization • Typical Angles: • Who should supply? (one company / many? Designers/EDA/3rd party?) • Topics (“Where is the pain?”) (blue = Gary’s preferences) • High-level modeling – raising level of design entry to ES-level (Sandeep Shukla (+Rajesh Gupta?) = organizer?) • What’s the value proposition? What’s the methodology? • Reuse – difficulties of “straight shrink”, and shift from hard to soft IP reuse • Can’t do at low level, so need to do it at higher level • Codevelopment of software and hardware (microprocessors, platforms) (Margarida Jacome = organizer) • The New Design Rules (David Hathaway, Takahide Inouye, Andrew Kahng) • Reusable design rules / process characterizations / parameterized device sizes / … (one level higher than GDSII design description standard?) • More than just what is coming out of the foundry • Design conversion / Design collaboration (both internal and external) (Naresh Sehgal + Dwight Hill) • Practices (access control, revision control, …) • Incremental design • Cost-effective design environment (Bill Bell = organizer) • Non-topics: reuse/platform-based
