   SESSION 150
  How to Determine the Necessity for Emerging Solutions
  Chair: Nic Mokhoff - EE Times, Manhasset, NY
  Organizers: Yervant Zorian, Virage Logic

  Different applications for today's chips require different types of optimizations and thus the need to adopt emerging products and solutions to meet such requirements. Optimizing for low power, for high yield, for reduced soft error or minimal bring-up time necessitate adequate trade-off analysis and technical/business decision making by management. The lead managers in this session will discuss today's emerging solutions and their economic impact.
