Entitled ‘The challenges of digital consumer and mobile SoCs: More Moore possible?’, Dr Furuyama’s address will take place during the opening session of DATE on Tuesday 17th April. The address will cover requirements to best combine highly integrated SoC’s and sophisticated software stacks in a timely manner. A key aspect of this approach is the need to establish a hardware/software co-development/verification environment with ESL design methodologies and an IP reuse platform where various functions are realised on an SoC by legacy sub-systems with a low-power multi-processor architecture.
Dr Furuyama will explain that the challenge gets more complicated in deep sub-100nm technology nodes and will present approaches to these complex problems from different aspects.
