Moore’s laws have predicted with extreme accuracy the IC development in terms of transistors per chip, channel length and area. Although these were formulated empirically in the early ’70s, the manufacturers worked hard to stay on the laws’ traced tracks with outstanding results. In the last decade, the development curve has slowed down marking the reach of a possible technology limit. Nowadays, the CMOS is still the most used circuital technology: introduced in the early ’90s, it revolutionised modern electronics with amazing improvements but, now, the enhancement margins are going to saturate. Actually, there are two main ideas on which designers rely to build more valuable systems: the "More than Moore" approach deals with a high level of abstraction, looking at the systems as heterogeneous (SoCs) and trying to reorganize them from the architectural point of view.
