Design at the end of the silicon roadmap

Scaling of silicon integrated technology into the deep sub-100 nm space brings with it a number of formidable challenges to the designer. Issues such as design complexity, power dissipation, process variability and reliability are challenging the traditional design methodologies. In this presentation, it is conjectured that the only viable long-term solution to these challenges is to drastically revise the way we do design, and a road map of potential solutions is presented. Ultimately, these innovative design solutions will help to pave the way to the post-silicon era.
