@techreport{R-88-39, TITLE = {CAMAD: A Unified Data Path/Control Synthesis Environment}, AUTHOR = {Zebo Peng and Krzysztof Kuchcinski and Bryan Lyles }, YEAR = {1988}, NUMBER = {R-88-39}, INSTITUTION = ida, ADDRESS = idaaddr, ABSTRACTURL = {/publications/cgi-bin/tr-fetch.pl?r-88-39+abstr}, ABSTRACT = {This paper describes a set of design tools built at Link{\"o}ping University to support automated synthesis of integrated circuits. They consists of algorithms for 1) automatic generation of unified design representations from high level behavioral descriptions, 2) synthesis of optimal data path and control, and 3) partitioning of VLSI systems into asynchronous modules. The set of design tools is integrated to form a unified design environment based on a design representation model derived from timed Petri net notation. Several ongoing projects are being carried out to enrich the design environment and will also be discussed in this paper.}, IDANR = {LiTH-IDA-R-88-39}, NOTE = {Also in Proc. of the IFIP TC-10 Conference on Design Methodologies for VLSI and Computer Architecture, Pisa, Italy, September 19-23, 1988}
