This paper explores early analysis of the complex relationships betwee
n system architectures and the active and packaging materials from whi
ch they are implemented, The goals of this analysis are to enable the
designer to specify cost effective technologies for a particular syste
m and to uncover resources which may be exploited to increase performa
nce of such a system, early in the design process, We describe a proto
type tool called IMPACT, which will predict cost, performance, power,
and reliability, and present several case studies demonstrating its us
