This paper describes a VLSI layout editor implemented on the Macintosh and IBM personal computers. The editor is capable of manipulating integrated circuit designs of complexity exceeding 50,000 transistors on a standard Macintosh Plus computer. The paper discusses the design tradeoffs necessary to implement a program of this capability on small computers.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
