IC design: preparing for the next node

The challenges of preparing for the next process node are truly immense for the foundries, the design companies, and the EDA industry. Meeting that challenge takes not only commitment and expertise in the traditional skills of software performance, memory and scaling, but also skills and experience in partnering with foundries and designers in ways that optimize all the available avenues for overall productivity and performance.
