Abstract
We engineers do a lot of predicting. When we design something, we predict how it will perform when implemented. We use tools like simulators and timing analyzers to help us refine these predictions, but getting silicon that runs as fast as you had hoped it would run is always a pleasant surprise.
期刊介绍:
IEEE Design & Test offers original works describing the models, methods, and tools used to design and test microelectronic systems from devices and circuits to complete systems-on-chip and embedded software. The magazine focuses on current and near-future practice, and includes tutorials, how-to articles, and real-world case studies. The magazine seeks to bring to its readers not only important technology advances but also technology leaders, their perspectives through its columns, interviews, and roundtable discussions. Topics include semiconductor IC design, semiconductor intellectual property blocks, design, verification and test technology, design for manufacturing and yield, embedded software and systems, low-power and energy-efficient design, electronic design automation tools, practical technology, and standards.
