The widening gap between growing SOC complexity and designer productivity limits traditional system design methods and flows. This results in several new approaches and innovative methods that work to elevate the limitations of different aspects of complex SOC design, such as early investing in prototyping solutions. Executives in this session will discuss the role of prototyping and the new opportunities it may bring in designing today's complex chips.
