System-on-Chip (SoC) integrators have to deal with more and more complexity during integration of their architectures. For cost and time-to-market reasons, SoCs tend to be architected as a set of coarse-grain subsystems for recognized system functions like audio, video, connectivity, modem, etc. Such subsystem solutions consist of multiple integrated hardware IP blocks together with associated software. Till recently IP subsystems were mostly adopted internally within SoC integrators and were not yet available from traditional IP companies. However, in 2012 multiple companies announced the availably of IP subsystem solutions. This special session will provide an update on the state-of-the art with regards to IP subsystems and review if IP subsystems indeed will be the way forward to boost productivity of SoC design.
