UW/NW (University of Washington/Northwest) VLSI Consortium

Abstract

The goal of the UW/NW VLSI Consortium is to pursue research, development and education in the use of computer aided design tools for VLSI systems with emphasis on technology transfer. The primary accomplishments for the period Mar. 26-Oct.22, 1984 were: CMOS Release; New DRC. In an effort to improve the performance of VLSI design rule checkers (DRC), the Consortium began a comparative analysis between the algorithms used in the Carnegie-Mellon DRC and a new algorithm developed at the University of Washington. The experiments used a variety of chips including the RISC II and PSC (programmable systolic chip). The results showed that the new approach gives improved performance and the Consortium will add this new DRC to future releases; and Chip designs.
