Statement of Purpose
This workshop explores the challenges in digital system design posed by the very large integrated circuits (systems-on-silicon) made possible by advances in VLSI technology. With 100-million transistor chips imminent and billion transistor designs feasible, we need to assess what new design technologies and methodologies need to be created to make the creation of such systems feasible. Workshop participants include CAD and design experts from both academia and industry. The workshop report will include: 1) a statement of pressing problems posed by systems-on-silicon; 2) recommendations about important research areas relating to systems-on-silicon; and 3) viewpoints on how to make these CAD and design communities aware of these trends and challenges.
