Computer-aided design system for VLSI circuits
Abstract
The framework for a hierarchical computer aided design (CAD) system to support very large scale integrated circuit and system design is described. The system supports both functional and physical design from initial specification and system synthesis to simulation, mask layout, verification, and documentation. The system is being implemented in phases on a DEC System 20 computer network within a user environment and supports evolutionary changes as technologies are developed and design strategies defined.
