The Strategic Impact of the EDA Industry in the Electronics Design Chain
Guillaume d'Eyssautier, Vice President General Manager Europe Cadence Design Systems, Inc.
Abstract
The current economic and business climate is forcing the electronics design industries towards dramatic changes.
There is no market ... for a second to market!
Cost of design, management of innovations and time to volume are the greatest threats to continuation of the semiconductor roadmap. This keynote presentation will focus on how the EDA industry will contribute to their customers success to achieve
- faster time to volume
- managing cost of design and innovation
- positively impacting top line growth
Today‘s engineering - and development- productivity for electronic design need to increase by 40-60% year over year to meet challenges given by new technologies and market requirements. Given the current productivity improvement of 20% per year, closing this gap is crucial to the success of the electronics design industry.
You will hear about
- lowering number of respins by new first silicon success strategies
- innovative virtual prototyping methodologies to shrink customers time to market and time to volume
- lowering design cost by design chain optimization
Finally an outlook will be given, how the electronics design industry and the EDA industry has to cooperate directly or in initiatives like the edacentrum to meet future electronics design challenges.
