Navigating the Rapids and Eddies of Your Design Flow

Co-sponsored by Women In Engineering

Why do bugs cost more the later they are found? Why are projects over
budget? How can we get a handle on the design process?

System on Chip development requires a complex, staged design
flow. It is usually clear there is room for improvement, but where exactly?
This presentation describes an intuitive model of staged development
which can be used to measure, analyze, and improve the design flow.
