The need for improved productivity, efficiency and innovation are imperatives for an industry that competes at the global level. System Level Design is promoted as offering a route to deliver more efficient designs, faster and more accurately through improved system level definition, modelling, analysis and implementation methodologies.

The System Level Design (SLD) network has been established to explore microelectronics system design from the system/algorithmic definition level through to RTL/chip level. The network takes a hardware perspective on system level design down to RTL level, linking with and complementing other technical networks such as Embedded Software and Verification.
The System Level Design (SLD) network covers areas such as ;
- system definition
- making optimal hardware/software trade-offs
- system hardware implementation methodologies to RTL/chip level
- system level hardware verification methodologies.
- system integration

The SLD events provide a support forum and opportunity for the key players active in SLD to network and exchange views.

Event Theme
Various analyses indicate that today’s large system on chip designs re-use somewhere in the region of 80-90% legacy IP. This event will explore SLD methodologies and the particular challenges posed by designing for re-use and incorporating legacy IP.
