DESIGN SYSTEM ARCHITECTURE AND THE ROLE OF DATABASE.
Abstract
This paper proposes a VLSI design system based on a central database and discusses some important aspects of such a system. Following a review of database technology, it is proposed that the entity set/binary relational architecture provides a suitable model for VLSI design data. An entity set/binary relational schema which allows hierarchical design data and its interconnections to be modelled is then developed.
