[...] Once you begin to measure things, you start to start to see the true workload costs. For example, the industry generally has very high expectations that design reuse will improve productivity simply because those blocks don’t have to be designed from scratch. Yet we’ve measured that and found that below a certain level of design data reuse on an IP block (around 50 percent), the savings from reuse rapidly approach zero. At very low levels, it can cost more to reuse an ip block than to design one from scratch. (We blogged about this paradox last fall: The Design Reuse Paradox). [...]
