The Business of High-Reliability Electronics
'High reliability' is at the very core of military, aerospace, medical, and other safety-critical applications. In this issue of Synopsys Journal, “The Business of High-Reliability Electronics”, we present three perspectives on how the need for stringent reliability is -- while still very important in traditional realms -- no longer confined to them and now influences other markets where businesses' reputations are at stake.
Featured authors: Colin Barnden, principal analyst, Semicast; Ian A. McDonald, director, Space Products and Systems, BAE Systems; David W. Smith, scientist, Synopsys, Inc.

Managing for "Moore"
Moore’s Law has reached yet another technology landmark: 20/22nm processes are now in production. This particular node shows distinct signs of being “disruptive” as design teams seek alternatives to straight technology scaling. Major options under wide consideration include implementation of 3D-ICs and programmable devices. We explore three different perspectives on these methods in “Managing for “Moore”, the latest edition of Synopsys Journal.
Featured authors: Thomas R. Halfhill, The Linley Group; Moshe Gavrielov, President and CE, Xilinx; Dr. Antun Domic, Sr. VP and GM, Implementation Group, Synopsys, Inc.

The Business of Global Design
Chip design is a complex business. And chip design across remote locations is more complex still. To expand globally, chip companies must think about balancing the risks and rewards. We explore three quite different perspectives on the issues in “The Business of Global Design”, the latest issue of Synopsys Journal.
Featured authors: Dr. Handel Jones, Founder, IBS, Inc.; Babak Bastani, VP of Global Chip Design, CSR; Glenn Dukes, VP of Professional Services, Synopsys, Inc.
