6th ESL Symposium Panel Discussion at DAC 2008

Details

Overview

While electronic system level (ESL) methodology has been debated for the past 10 years, most large companies have already successfully applied a variety of ESL solutions into their core design processes. This panel of expert users from a cross-section of the electronics industry will explore the commonalities (as well as differences) from their own ESL experiences.

Panelists:

  • Rambus: Rashinkar Prakash, Director of Engineering
  • Qualcomm: Viraphol Chaiyakul, Senior Director of Engineering, QCT SoC Platform
  • ST Microelectronics: Nitin Chawla, Senior Member of Technical Staff, CCDS(TR&D)
  • STARC: Kaz Yoshinaga, STARC Researcher, Design Standard Group, Planning Department
  • Thales: Bernard Candaele, Department Head, SoC, IC & EDA

Topics include:

  • ESL design objectives and challenges
  • Role and boundaries of ESL for verification & synthesis
  • What has worked - or what has not worked
  • Top deployment priorities and methods
  • Common technologies, languages and standards
  • Lessons learned from their experiences
