One Pass to Production (OPP)
This is a project funded by Motorola during 2003-present ($1.2 M so far) on developing an integrated methodology to radically enhance engineering design productivity. The goal is to reduce the design cycle from 24 months (the cycle time in 2003) to 24 hours. We believe that our current methodology after 5 years of research can lead to a one month design cycle. Motorola's internal evaluation puts it more conservatively at 3 months. We are exploring many new innovative ideas to further reduce the design cycle time.

Highly Scalable Multiplier (HSM)
Highly Scalable Multiplier uses a folding technique to allow one to trade off speed, power dissipation, and area as needed in the implementation of multipliers.
