Unit-6 Part-1
Type and amount of Hardware based on SoC or VLSI design has very high NRE cost
hardware and hardware design on a circuit board depends on available
chips.
Power dissipation Power is energy dissipated per second
Energy Consumption Energy consumption per unit talk time in a phone needs to be
controlled so that battery requires 24-hour battery charging after
the 4 hours of talk during the day.
Process deadlines Meeting the deadline of all processes in the system while keeping
the memory, power dissipation, processor clock rate and cost at
minimum is a challenge.
Flexibility Flexibility in design at little cost overhead is a challenge.
Ability to upgrade Ability to upgrade the design while keeping the cost minimum
