Design at 45nm technologies and below is a risky proposition because of the many design challenges involved: variability, leakage, verification complexity, poor analog device performance, etc. In this panel, experienced designers coming from different backgrounds talk about how they have overcome some of the design and CAD challenges in 45nm, what CAD challenges still exist and how the CAD community can help.
Wireless sensor-and-control systems era starting to make inroads in medical health care. Monitoring of vital signs, advanced imaging, and innovative treatments and prosthetics are emerging. The challenge with all these systems is that they have to be "energy-frugal", that is that they have to get by with the energy they scavenge from the environment around them. At the same time, they need to be adaptive to the time-varying needs of the systems they observe or control. In this talk we will discuss how we could simultaneously explore the lower bounds of energy dissipation while at the same time providing "hugely-scalable" performance.978-3-9810801-6-2/DATE10
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
