Market estimation for system prototyping EDA segment

Prototyping suites are products devoted to permit easy customer access to system prototyping methodology. The scope of this keynote is to determine if and when the need to prototype complex systems will create a solid EDA industrial sector, based on System On a Chip. Contemporary and future customer requirements are analyzed, compared with features of current products. SoC market is investigated, to derive the size of the prototyping systems segment, in terms of number of equipment and expected revenues; a market size trend is estimated.
