Abstract
In this paper a design methodology for very complex custom circuits (more than 100 000 MOS) is presented. This method is based on a multiprocessor architecture assembled from a library of modules (functional processors) interconnected by a communication kernel based on a hardware implementation of the software monitor concept.
