Abstract :
AUDiT, a CAD (computer-aided-design) program for modeling single-board electronic systems, is described. Given user-specified inputs including the system´s architectural hierarchy, the technologies used to implement chips, packages, and the board, and a list of critical paths. AUDiT provides extensive information about the resulting system. Systems can contain arbitrary inhomogeneous mixtures of chip and package types/technologies. Several analysis tools are provided to allow the user to explore parameter and architectural changes, with an interface built around X Windows to promote ease of use. For the advanced user, AUDiT provides configuration files, which allow modification of the computational models and addition of user models
