Introduction
nSystem complexity is increasing
•%22 of ASIC designs > 1M gates
•%01 of ASIC designs > 10M gates
•how to manage design complexity?
nShorter development times
•As low as 3 months on some consumer products
•Faster designs w/ first time design success? 
How to Cope?
    New design methods needed
   New design languages
   Extensions to existing languages
Hw/sw co-design tools
Hw/sw co simulation tools
Rapid silicon prototyping
New verification techniques/languages
Design re-use
