Title
A logic design front-end for improved engineering productivity
Abstract
We have developed Design and Verification (DAV) as a new design front-end for the IBM Engineering Design System. DAV is a menu-driven system with powerful graphics capabilities for the entry and verification of a logic design. The design is hierarchically structured, using high-level technology-independent operators that can be simulated and verified at a purely logical level, then transformed into specific technologies and checked for LSSD rules and physical design constraints. The stated goals of DAV are for the product to get to the market in 30% less time, with 40% lower design cost, and with 98% percent of the errors removed prior to hardware prototyping. We expect to achieve these goals fully.
