| Restrictive design rules could curb EDA growth, analyst says
SAN FRANCISCO A coming wave of adoption of so called restrictive design rules (RDRs) at the 32-nanometer node could curb potential EDA market growth if widespread enough, according to Mary Ann Olsson, vice president of EDA design research at Gartner Inc. Speaking to a packed hotel ballroom as one of four analysts to present at the 18th annual Gartner Dataquest Executive Briefing here Sunday evening (July 23), Olsson said that some percentage of 32-nm designs will certainly use RDRs, also known as structured regular silicon. If that percentage is greater than 40 percent, Olsson said, growth in the market for design-for-manufacturability (DFM) tools will be significantly reduced. Adopting RDRs will enable designers to use less expensive layout tools and decrease use of DFM and yield analysis tools, Olsson said.
