TITLE: REPORT FOR NSF WORKSHOP ON BILLION TRANSISTOR SYSTEMS
March 12-13, 1998
Princeton University
Sponsored by the National Science Foundation
WORKSHOP REPORT
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.
