		The IC industry is commonly divided into different market segments – consumer, mobile, industrial, commercial, medical, automotive, and aerospace.  A key differentiation among these segments is the characterization and reliability qualification strategy for the fabrication process and design circuitry. For each segment,… Read More 
	 
	
	
	
		
	
		
			
		
	
	
		
		
	
	
	
		The first part of Lars Liebmann’s ICCAD keynote about lithography was on the changes in lithography that have to us to where we are today. In some ways it was an explanation of why we have the odd design rules, double patterning etc that we have in 20nm and 16nm processes. The second part of his talk was a look forward to how we might… Read More 
	 
	
	
	
		
	
		
			
		
	
	
		
		
	
	
	
		At ICCAD earlier this week, CEDA sponsored a talk by Alberto  Sangiovanni-Vincentelli looking back over the last 30 years (it is the  30th anniversary of ICCAD) and looking to the future. As is always the  case in these sorts of presentations, the retrospective contained a lot  more detail than the going forward part. Clayton Christensen… Read More 
	 
	
	
	
		
	
		
			
		
	
	
		
		
	
	
	
		At the keynote for ICCAD this morning, John Gustafson of AMD (where he is Chief Graphics Product Architect as well as a Fellow) talked about parallel algorithms. Like Gene Amdahl, whose law states that parallel algorithms are limited by the part that cannot be parallelized (if 10% is serial, then even if the other part takes place… Read More

		ICCAD is November 5th to 8th in the Hilton San Jose (downtown).
It is very off topic, but if you are British then November 5th is the rough equivalent of July 4th when there are fireworks displays all over the country. Britain is one of very few countries that transitioned from some sort of autocracy to a democracy without having a revolution.… Read More
