How to Avoid the Traps and Pitfalls of SOC Design: You Really Should Register Now for the Free Webinar

November 14, 2008

Next week, on November 19, Tensilica’s Chief Scientist Grant Martin and I will be conducting a free Webinar on avoiding the traps and pitfalls of SOC design. If you’re on an SOC design team or managing one, you really should give us an hour to listen. I think you’ll find it a worthwhile investment of your time, which I know is precious. So many things can go wrong and the risks are so great, than an hour investment seems very likely to pay you large dividends.

Designing SOCs is a high-risk enterprise and there are all sorts of risks involved. There’s the risk of designing the wrong chip or choosing the wrong market niche. There’s the risk of designing the chip wrong. And the penalty for failure is high because development costs for complex SOCs are measured in millions of dollars. However, there are ways to reduce those risks. There are ways to avoid the pitfalls or at least reduce the likelihood that you design team will succumb to one of those pitfalls. You simply need to make the right choices. This Webinar is designed to help you make better architectural choices. Please join us.

Dear Dumb-founded. I too am dumbfounded?by your comment. Anyone who has read just a few week?s worth of my blogs knows that I do not flog Tensilica or its processors in these postings. In fact, I take special pains to leave Tensilica out of these discussions most of the time for exactly the reason your comment circles around: a blatantly partisan blog on EDN would be less than useless. It helps neither Tensilica nor EDN and I?m a staunch supporter of both. If you look at my blog postings, you?ll see that I write directly about advances made by many companies in our industry (including ARM and Intel) but I never, never use this blog to write directly about Tensilica?s products. I do write about system-design concepts that I personally believe in and those beliefs happen to coincide with Tensilica?s (most of the time). I had those beliefs before joining Tensilica. I joined Tensilica seven years ago because of our shared vision of the future. As for promoting free Webinars that I present, they?re jointly presented by Tensilica and EDN. I see no beef there either. It?s an official EDN Webinar. EDN sends out email promoting the Webinars. Tensilica and EDN share an interest in the Webinars? success. Would you prefer I keep the Webinars a secret? If so, why? Who does that serve? As for advising ARM and MIPS as to what they should do, that?s currently above my pay grade.

If EDN lets you promote your company (for free???) why doesn't ARM have a blog here? Why Doesn't MIPS have one here too???
