System Design: High Leverage Paradigms

• Orthogonalization of concerns: view designs along axes that can be dealt with independently

  • Timing and functionality
  • Function and Architecture
  • Computation and Communication

“...70-80% of the performance, power and often cost of an ASIC can be determined during the algorithmic and architecture phases in the design flow”
