            Abstract : 
Design and manufacturing flows and methodologies are directly impacted by the demand for emerging SoCs with increasing performance and parallelism. Moving to new semiconductor technology nodes can significantly affect the choices of suppliers. This session will provide an overview of changing needs and corresponding management decision criteria to make the right choices from a pool of alternate options for flows, methodologies and suppliers.
