6:00 – 8:00 p.m.
SF Marriott, Yerba Buena, Salon 7 University professors and students are invited to join synopsys and Sun Microsystems for an evening reception, including drinks and hors d’oeuvres. Prize drawings will be held throughout the evening and the following keynote presentations will be featured.
Verifying a Billion-Gate SoC Janick Bergeron
Synopsys Fellow
Synopsys, Inc.
Verification continues to consume the majority of the implementation effort of any new design. In an era of billion-gate chips, ultra-low power and consumer-driven economics, how can we continue to deliver working designs at an acceptable cost?
Design in the nano-scale Era: Low-Power, Reliability, and Error Resiliency Kaushik Roy
Roscoe H George Professor of Electrical and Computer Engineering
Purdue University
Scaling of technology over the last few decades has produced an exponential growth in computing power of integrated circuits and an unprecedented number of transistors integrated into a single chip. However, scaling is facing several problems – severe short channel effects, exponential increase in leakage current, increased process parameter variations, and new reliability concerns. We believe that device aware circuit and architecture design along with statistical design techniques can provide large improvement in power dissipation (Vdd scaling) while providing the required reliability and yield. In this talk I will present design techniques to address power and reliability problems in scaled technologies for both logic and memories.
