1. Billions of transistors, and Moore
The nanoelectronic-IC era will enable chips with, literally, billions of transistors, presenters said. But with the market's once-predict-able double-digit growth rates no longer assured, the industry is struggling to identify applications of nanoelectronics that will fill its fabrication facilities and give a return on its massive investments.

2. Verification requires new methodologies, panelists say
There's no silver bullet that can solve the design verification problem. There are tools that can help, but the real issue is rethinking the methodology. More...
-By Richard Goering, EE Times.

3. Leveraging structured ASICs for signal processing applications
Hardware tasks, traditionally partitioned between the ASIC and FPGA, now primarily fall to FPGAs, which provide a cost-effective alternative for DSP implementation that easily can be adopted for a broad range of applications. More...
-By Brian Jentz, DSP Marketing Manager, Altera

4. Prime-time Processing Are Embedded Systems on FPGA Ready?
Over the coming months, watch for an increased pace of new tool and technology announcements, lower price points for system-on-chip capable FPGAs, and increased variety and diversity in offerings of processors, peripherals, and embedded platform support. More...
-By Kevin Morris, FPGA and Programmable Logic Journal.

5. The Real Challenge of System-Level Design
The main challenge System-Level Design (SLD) tools have to addressis bridging the gap from specification to implementation and reducing the guessing as much as possible. More... 
- By Vincent Perrier, Co-Founder and Director of CoFluent Design.

Technology Showcase
Reference designs and flows are coming on the RF side and third-party verification IP is accumulating on the protocol side, sure indications that early designs are going on somewhere. UWB is moving out of the realm of papers and standards reviews, and toward early silicon. Read More..
-Ron Wilson, EE Times


eInfochips Partner Showcase
Employing a robust, highly scalable coverage engine is a significant step toward multiplying your productivity. The next step introduces a coverage analysis solution that allows your engineering team to leverage data in a metric-driven verification process. Read More..
