MILPITAS, Calif., Oct. 20 /PRNewswire/ -- Open-Silicon, Inc., a leading SoC design and semiconductor manufacturing company, announced today that its CEO, Dr. Naveed Sherwani, will participate in a panel at the Chinese American Semiconductor Professional Association (CASPA) 2010 Annual Conference.  Dr. Sherwani, along with two other industry leaders, will discuss the "Future Platforms of Computing."  The theme of Dr. Sherwani's presentation is "Moving Toward Design-Lite for Innovation."  

Abstract:

The discussion, "Moving Toward Design-Lite for Innovation" will address planning for the future of not only the electronics industry, but the entire global economy, including strategies for reducing our carbon footprint. Companies must take a holistic approach and consider their impact across the entire product life cycle. There are many points across a design, from architecture level to production level, where optimization for low power can happen. Meanwhile, the industry is moving toward optical interfaces to enable higher bandwidth. While innovation requirements coexist with time-to-market pressures, companies are seeking new ways to maximize the return on their product investments. One of these strategies includes Design-lite. Design-lite enables a company's engineering team to focus on the core product roadmap, while utilizing the design capabilities of another company, like Open-Silicon, to build derivatives of those products.
