The Gajski–Kuhn chart (or Y diagram) depicts the different perspectives in VLSI hardware design. [1] Mostly, it is used for the development of integrated circuits. Daniel Gajski and Robert Kuhn developed it in 1983. In 1985, Robert Walker and Donald Thomas refined it. According to this model, the development of hardware is perceived within ...
Very-large-scale integration (VLSI) is the process of creating an integrated circuit (IC) by combining millions or billions of MOS transistors onto a single chip. VLSI began in the 1970s when MOS integrated circuit (Metal Oxide Semiconductor) chips were developed and then widely adopted, enabling complex semiconductor and telecommunication technologies.
The Mead–Conway VLSI chip design revolution, or Mead and Conway revolution, was a very-large-scale integration ( VLSI) design revolution starting in 1978 which resulted in a worldwide restructuring of academic materials in computer science and electrical engineering education, and was paramount for the development of industries based on the ...
High-level synthesis ( HLS ), sometimes referred to as C synthesis, electronic system-level (ESL) synthesis, algorithmic synthesis, or behavioral synthesis, is an automated design process that takes an abstract behavioral specification of a digital system and finds a register-transfer level structure that realizes the given behavior. [ 1][ 2][ 3]
Logic synthesis. In computer engineering, logic synthesis is a process by which an abstract specification of desired circuit behavior, typically at register transfer level (RTL), is turned into a design implementation in terms of logic gates, typically by a computer program called a synthesis tool. Common examples of this process include ...
VLSI Project. The VLSI Project was a DARPA -program initiated by Robert Kahn in 1978 [1] that provided research funding to a wide variety of university -based teams in an effort to improve the state of the art in microprocessor design, then known as Very Large Scale Integration (VLSI). The VLSI Project is one of the most influential research ...
Electric (software) The Electric VLSI Design System is an EDA tool written in the early 1980s by Steven M. Rubin. [3] [4] [5] Electric is used to construct logic wire schematics and to perform analysis of integrated circuit layout. It can also handle hardware description languages such as VHDL and Verilog.
Magic (software) Magic is an electronic design automation (EDA) layout tool for very-large-scale integration (VLSI) integrated circuit (IC) originally written by John Ousterhout and his graduate students at UC Berkeley. Work began on the project in February 1983. A primitive version was operational by April 1983, [2] when Joan Pendleton, Shing ...
