Legacy Data: A Structured Methodology for Device Migration in DSM Technology A Structured Methodology for Device Migration in Dsm Technology

Legacy Data: A Structured Methodology for Device Migration in DSM Technology by Pallab Chatterjee is published by Springer Science & Business Media in 2003 and spans 132 pages. This book addresses the complexities involved in migrating existing hard intellectual property (IP) from one technology to another through structured and repeatable procedures. It emphasizes that the challenges of hard IP migration extend beyond electronic design automation (EDA) issues, requiring a comprehensive understanding of process technologies, EDA tools, and client application specifications.

Readers will find a detailed exploration of developing methodologies for legacy data reuse, particularly for hard IP, which is a relatively unexplored area in existing literature. The book outlines the necessary steps for creating structured methodologies, constructing verification test benches, and validating the final physical design. It serves as a resource for CAD practitioners aiming to leverage the significant volumes of legacy data within their organizations, making it a valuable addition to the fields of computer science, information technology, and logic design.
