ITRS Design ITWG System Level Design & SOFTWARE Hardware design productivity is growing appropriately –Requirements correspond roughly with solutions –Innovations pacing properly (transistors / designer / year) Large gap in software productivity possibly opening up –If hardware accelerators are heavily leveraged, problem mitigated –Otherwise, possibly 100X gap can affect memory size, other Adding new parameters to requirements/solutions tables –Hardware design productivity - requirement –Software design productivity - requirement –Software design productivity (assuming only software implementation) –System design productivity innovations – solutions (Fig. 1 in chapter) (alternative Scenario)

ITRS Design ITWG Impact of Design on Sigma (Variability) Manufacturing Device Circuit Logic / function System / SW Use variability model Goal Quantify how many sigmas can design reduce Approach Inventory of design techniques / tools Match inventory to parameters or correlations in model Use variability model to capture delta in sigmas Inputs (manufacturing) Check overall variation

ITRS Design ITWG Technology Pacing (Design) Impact of 3 year shift on Design –Largely insignificant – number of functions basically unchanged –Possible impact on selected requirements (e.g., DFM) Updated Design requirements (DFM) (% variability model, etc.) PIDS / FEP / Litho 3-year shift

ITRS Design ITWG More Than Moore (Design) More than Moore brings new set of requirements/solutions –Will create additional inventory of parameters Existing requirementsExisting solutions Additional requirementsAdditional solutions E.g. –System-level (packaging) –Circuit (inter-chip parasitics modeling/simulation) –Layout (SiP global layout) –DFM (package-chip, SiP DFM) Existing Additional
