Years ago, timing analysis was a design flow step distinct from place and route. There were 'timing engineers' and file handoffs between separate tools until that capability was folded into the place and route data models. Now, timing drives many of the layout decisions, and while there are still timing specialists, their roles are different, more focused. At advanced node designs, starting at 45 nm and becoming more serious at 32 nm, the physics of IC manufacturing is ushering the next phase of great productivity growth through advancements in physical design software.

I just read the April 2010 issue of Discover Magazine. Two articles on physics and time blew my socks off. My mind is reeling with the possibilities of what I just read (and no, this is NOT an April Fool's joke by the magazine or by me).

Held in San Jose on March 18, The ICT Green Boot Camp Features Interactive Panel Discussions on Green Design and Market Access, Policy and the Low-Carbon Economy and Business Opportunities in Green ICT
It looks like the TIA has gotten on the sustainability bandwagon – and not a moment too soon. This workshop/boot camp should provide an excellent overview on why and how environmental performance is rapidly becoming a must-have checkbox for the electronic equipment being purchased by many government agencies and corporations. Although this half-day event is intended primarily for tech managers and a bit further up the food...

Statistics just released show a precipitous drop off in the number of automobile deaths annually—a fact that is due in no small part to microelectronics, enabled by MCUs, DSPs, FPGAs, etc, for active safety and driver assistance systems, along with increased seat belt use.

Electronic Product Design or RPG?
Playing the game...
Today, with much anticipation I watched the teaser trailer for the auspicious Starcraft II, a game in development at Blizzard Entertainment. It's been about 9 years since I last played it's predecessor, Starcraft: Broodwars (hmmm, I've been married for about that long, too!) Watching the trailer brought back many fond memories; memories of not knowing what it was like to need sleep, lugging my full-tower AMD K6-II computer with a wopping 256MB of ECO SDRAM and a 15" CRT monitor around to a friends garage for greasy food, and all-night strategic planning...
