My Background • BS Engineering Physics, MS EE (Digital and RF) • Engineering Background • 18 years, complex hardware-software systems • Teaching Background • Affiliate Professor – PSU, Systems Engineering • Short courses for NSA on Technical Risk Assessment • Print/Online Media Background • Editorial Director: • Chip Design magazine (www.chipdesignmag.com) • Embedded Intel magazine (www.embeddedintel.com) • Design Trends Reports – Sep’06 • Previously: • Senior Tech Editor – Wireless Systems mag • Freelance, Edutopia magazine and others • Associate Editor, IEEE I&M magazine • Book author, IEEE Press • Contact: jblyler@extensionmedia.com, (503) 614-1082

  3. Embedded Designs: Broad Challenges At 65nm • Chip Design mantra: • Power, Performance, Area and Cost • Power and Performance • Key technical parameters • Area and Cost • Drivers for deeply embedded, high volume consumer market • $1.25 billion units by 2008

  4. 65nm Issues with Implementing Embedded Processor Designs: • Deeply embedded CPU system • Performance must balance cost • Proven solution • Shrink geometries (65nm) • Lower power, increase performance, lower area • But increase complexity • Bus centric and multiple core-memory architectures • At submicron designs: • Proven reference methodology • Lots of IP

  5. Today’s Panel Discussion Flow • Chartered Semi: Nanometer flow for today’s designs • ARM PIPD: Supporting processes with library development and qualification • ARM: New and upcoming processor architectures • Magma: Importance of reference methodologies • Broadcom: Actual implementation of reference methodology and Cortex R4 processor • Followed by Q&A and more.
