ADVISORY/Monterey Hands-on Tutorial; Hierarchical Design with No Surprises.

News/Assignment Editors & High-Tech Writers

ADVISORY...for Thursday (May 16)

--(BUSINESS WIRE)

What:

Hierarchical physical design isn't just for microprocessors anymore. Monterey Design Systems is offering a hands-on introduction to a new generation of automated design planning and prototyping tools guaranteed to boost your productivity.

Monterey offers a fast prototyping environment that allows designers to quickly determine whether or not it is possible to meet all of their requirements for timing, area, and power. It also allows designers to explore different alternatives by helping to analyze tradeoffs involving architecture, feature set, timing, area, and power.

But don't just take our word for it -- try it for yourself. During this FREE Hands-on Tutorial you will use the IC Wizard hierarchical design planner and Sonar physical prototyper, which have been used collectively to tape out over 100 designs, to:

-- Generate top-level design plans for an SoC

-- Create prototypes of blocks and of the top-level assembly

-- Assemble the blocks to complete the chip

Participants will have the opportunity to perform many of the most critical design planning steps such as automatic block placement and shaping, port optimization, channel adjustment, timing budgeting, and verification of the block-level timing versus the block-level constraints, as well as top-level timing closure.

When:

Thursday, May 16, 2002: 9 AM - 2 PM
