A Coherent VLSI Design Environment

Abstract

The contract was awarded to support research in several aspects Very Large Scale Integrated (VLSI) systems. The contract was response to three successive, related proposals, as follows: Advanced Research in VLSI, 12 May 1980 - 11 May 1982, Theory and Practice for Large-Scale Systems, 12 May 1982 - 30 June 1984, and A Coherent VLSI Design Environment, 1 July 1984 - 31 December 1987. During each of these three time periods a different underlying theme was emphasized, but the detailed technical work was carried out in several areas that continued throughout the life of the contract. This final report is organized according to those areas. In each case, the description below consists of a brief statement of the objectives of the work, a list of the major accomplishments, and some conclusions. A narrative style is not used, because of the scope of the contract and the large number of results. At the end of the report is a list of all publications that arose from work supported in part by this contract. The interested reader is referred to these publications for further information about any of the results. (rh)
