Description: The EDA community has been pitching statistical design as the salvation for design variability issues in sub 130nm design for several years. Although progress has been made, it has yet to be widely used. It is needed at the front-end of the process, but the information to support it is hard to get. But once the data is available , it is no longer necessary. This distinguished group has a 75% chance of answering this question.
