Is 2D Scaling Dead? - Other Considerations
Posted on Monday, July 12, 2010 - 00:07 by harry from the site harry ... the ASIC guy
(Part 4 in the series Which Direction for EDA? 2D, 3D, or 360?) In the last 2 posts in this series, I examined the lithography and transistor design issues that will need to be solved in order to save 2D scaling as we know it. In this post I will look at several other considerations. For the moment, let’s assume that we are able to address the lithography and transistor design issues that I’ve identified in the previous posts.

http://www.flickr.com/photos/optical_illusion/ / CC BY 2.0 What’s a blog without some sort of obligatory year end TOP 10 list? So, without further ado, here is my list of the TOP 10 events, happenings, occurrences, observations that I will remember from 2009. This is my list, from my perspective, of what I will remember.

What Makes DAC 2009 different from other DACs?
Posted on Sunday, July 12, 2009 - 21:12 by harry from the site harry ... the ASIC guy
By Narendra (Nari) Shenoy, Technical Program Co-Chair, 46th DAC Each year, around this time, the electronic design industry and academia meticulously prepare to showcase the latest research and technologies at the Design Automation Conference. For the casual attendee, after a few years the difference between the conferences of years past begins to dim. If you are one of them, allow me to dispel this notion and invite you to look at what is different this year. For starters, we will be in the beautiful city of San Francisco from July 26-31.

TSMC Challenges Lynx With Flow Of Their Own
Posted on Wednesday, May 6, 2009 - 02:22 by harry from the site harry ... the ASIC guy
About a month and a half ago, I wrote a 5 part series of blog posts on the newly introduced Lynx Design System from Synopsys: Part 1 - Synopsys Lynx Design System Debuts at SNUG Part 2 - Lynx Design System? - It’s The Flow, Stupid! Part 3 - Strongest Lynx Part 4 - The Weakest Lynx Part 5 - The Mising Lynx - The ASIC Cloud One key feature, the inclusion of pre-qualified technology and node specific libraries in the flow, was something I had pushed for when I was previously involved with Lynx (then called Pilot).
