Hooman Moshar, director of engineering for the Residential Broadband group at Broadcom, looked for signal-integrity tools that address inductance as well as resistance and capacitance. Inductance occurs when switching signals interfere not only with the net next door, but also with nets farther away and perhaps on other layers.

Saeid Moshkelani, C-Cube's vice president of operations and core technology, said even today's cutting-edge physical synthesis tools, which link synthesis and place and route, still require wire load models. Moshkelani said he would like to see synthesis and place and route more closely linked and would like to see top-level wire load analyses for module-level synthesis.

Moshkelani also wishes for power-savvy place and route tools that would allow for power tapering.
