ABSTRACT

This paper presents the IBM VHDL Design System. This set of Computer Aided Engineering (CAE) design tools, built around the VHSIC Hardware Description Language (VHDL) and developed for IBM internal use, along with other design automation tools, is used by IBM design engineers to develop computer hardware. The function and operation of each piece of the system is described. IBM usage and some of the problems encountered are also discussed.
