Abstract
This paper describes a complete VLSI design system on a small computer, that will provide a powerful but flexible design aid for most projected technologies into the 1990's.
The paper describes existing design methods, highlighting the shortcomings of these methods. The advantages and disadvantages of a system that maintains the connectivity information through the complete design are discussed. Solutions to these disadvantages are proposed, and a description of how these are incorporated into a small computer CAD system is given.

DAC '82: Proceedings of the 19th Design Automation ConferenceThis paper describes a design system capable of designing chips in the range of 5K to 7K equivalent three-way NOR gates. A key feature of the system is the ability to design chips with large macros (RAMs and PLAs). This design system is part of IBM's ...
The Design of Easily Testable VLSI Array Multipliers
Array multipliers are well suited for VLSI implementation because of the regularity in their iterative structure. However, most VLSI circuits are difficult to test. This correspondence shows that, with appropriate cell design, array multipliers can be ...
