Reasons for Continuation

Manpower Development: Every year more than 200 students are graduated in
the field of VLSI who have used the resource of SMDP research lab.

Many MS and PhD students are using the facilities available in the SMDP lab for
their research work.

Few designed chips are on way. Few IP cores has already been generated for
specific applications e.g. Biomedical Application, Wireless Communication
Application, etc.
(One chip has won the Cadence Design Contest 2010 in the Masters
Category)
( One design has been awarded as Best paper in TechSym 2011)

Every year IEP has been conducted to train the trainer.

Few EDA tool training has been organized to cope with the latest VLSI
technology.

Few International Guest Faculty Programme has been conducted to know the
latest research trends in outside of India.
Problem Faced

Installation of the software and licensing took more than the scheduled time.

8 HCL Client PC gone down. HCl is taking too much time to repair it.

More storage per PC is required for better utilization of the software.

Lack of proper EDA tool training programme.

Lack of EDA tool up-gradation and licensing ( We don’t have PrimeTimePower Calculation license).
