The rapid evolution of semiconductor technology continues to make possible increasingly sophisticated electronic systems on single chips of silicon. By 1982, a single silicon chip is projected to have well over 100,000 transistors. This level of ...

To aid design verification of very large computers using many LSI's, software tools including a logic simulator with capability of 750,000 gates have been developed.

Algorithms for the derivation and drafting of stonewalls are discussed and illustrated. They are of two basic types. Stone-by-stone algorithms which simulate procedures known to be applied in practice, and joint-by-joint algorithms which pursue ...

An automatic pipe routing system for chemical plants is described. This system determines routes of pipes and positions of fittings and summarizes piping material data.

THE RAPID ADVANCE OF SEMICONDUCTOR DEVICE TECHNOLOGY MAKES THE CURRENT COMPUTER DESIGN TOOLS INADEQUATE. NEW TOOLS NEED TO BE DEVELOPED. THIS PAPER PRESENTS THE DEVELOPMENT OF A MICROCOMPUTER DESIGN LANGUAGE FOR US AS A TOOL TO MICROCOMPUTER ENGINEERS. ...
