The Tao Of ASICs. An ASIC, SoC and EDA Blog. Monday, December 31, 2007. Combining ASIC, FPGA and Structured ASIC On A Single SoC. The availability of structured ASIC IP for use within standard SoC creates yet another option for ASIC design houses seeking to balance NRE, per-unit cost and time-to-market. You can see the announcement by ChipX here. Think of the advantages that each approach bring to the table:. FPGA : Highly configurable, Fast Time-to-Market , Low performance. Just flip the equation. Funct...

As the Mind Flows...: Tech-No!: The Ideal World of Verification
http://radee.blogspot.com/2009/03/tech-no-ideal-world-of-verification.html
As the Mind Flows. An outlet for Mind to Ramble. Tuesday, March 24, 2009. The Ideal World of Verification. Ever wondered how an ideal world of verification would look like? I would probably see one when the following criteria are met. No Deadlines or time limit. Infinite resources, consisting of verification experts. An amazing specification which captures every possible detail of the design and frozen. A client or architect not making any change requests. A very high end machine grid to run your jobs.

The Tao Of ASICs. An ASIC, SoC and EDA Blog. Sunday, May 04, 2008. Force Multipliers : A Paradigm for Technology and Tool Development. It seems to me that viewing tools and technologies as force multipliers is a good paradigm for guiding technology and tool development. Do not replace; they complement. Did they disband the air force after inventing radar? Force multipliers need not be complex; just effective. Force multipliers need not physically exist. The effect of more than one force multipliers is no...
