Abstract

Trends in System Level Integration (SLI) are analyzed.Based on projections from the SIA roadmap and othersources, the impact of achievable reuse on design andmanufacturing cost is projected. Similar analysis suggeststhat while test execution cost is currently equivalent todesign expense in its effect on total production cost, it willdominate in the future. Core testability and its relationshipwith core 'firmness' is also examined. The implications ofthese trends on core providers and integrators, standards,tester manufacturers and CAD vendors are investigated.
