AI techniques and object-oriented technology for VLSI design-space representation, optimization, and management

摘要: The VLSI design process consists of many highly specialized tasks. Algorithmic, compute-intensive and mundane tasks which used to be performed manually, have been automated by traditional CAD tools. These tools aspects synthesis, analysis, optimization verification. However, the successful efficient utilization these has proved very knowledge intensive requiring interaction guidance domain experts. In recent years expert systems for reported but stand-alone integrated with able provide decision-making, judgment-based opportunity ranking tighter data source integration. Furthermore, an distributed knowledge-base is essential rapid prototyping assistants, techniques heuristics. We report experimental environment based on a central object-oriented model-base. kernel capable accommodating as well knowledge-based
