Abstract :
The MULGA symbolic design system, which has been in use at Bellcore for design of research VLSI chips, and Bellcore´s experience with symbolic design of high-performance VLSI are described. Bellcore´s research on a new symbolic design system, DASL, is discussed. The use of symbolic layout in cell-based systems and silicon compilers, and its use in these areas is covered
