Abstract

A design log-jam is imminent. By 2001, designers of a single application-specific IC may have over 100 million transistors at their beck and call, according to the US Semiconductor Industry Association's National Roadmap for Semiconductors. Chip designs will rarely be home grown-instead, they will be organized around elements the design team acquires from others, either from companies that specialize in developing so-called intellectual property or from the reuse of blocks previously developed within the same or another organization. This paper describes how the rising tide of Web-based tools and services augurs the next sea change in electronic design.
