A Flowcharting System and Compiler Interface for MACPITTS.

Abstract

The feasibility of a direct FLOWCHART-TO-CHIP concept for the MACPITTS silicon compiler is demonstrated. A graphics package is developed that contains all flowcharting symbols and interconnection systems required for implementation of a MACPITTS compiled finite state machine. This provides the capability for the user's input to MACPITTS to be a graphically generated finite state machine algorithmic flowchart instead of a complex LISP language input file. The SCALD system developed by the VALID corporation provides the required CAD tools. A flowchart to MACPITTS compiler also developed that demonstrates the validity of the flowchart input concept. Complex flowcharts have been created and successfully compiled into the correct LISP language input file format required by MACPITTS. (Author)
