Abstract

This presentation discusses the major problems in doing early estimation of various design metrics in systems-on-chip (SoC) design, and explains why early and accurate are usually contradictory terms. It then describes a tool for early estimation and analysis of SoCs which is capable of quickly evaluating cross-domain effects between component selection, architectural decisions, floorplanning, wiring estimation and die size prediction.
