The continuous scaling of electronic technologies has changed quite substantially the way integrated circuits and systems are designed. On the one hand, increased complexity calls for more powerful methods to execute the traditional CAD tasks, such as modeling, simulation, and optimization. On the other hand, new tools have become necessary to support design, as modern electronic systems differ significantly from devices of the “old times”, where the entire functionality was implemented as silicon resources. Hardware capabilities are complemented by software support, including low-level primitives and application-level services, in order to guarantee high-performance, low-power, and reliable operation of embedded systems that are at the core of most mobile and consumer electronics products.
