Abstract :
A data structure for representing the structure of VLSI circuits and basic operations for manipulating this data structure are presented. Its features include conceptual integrity, rich expressive power, and high extensibility. This device forms the nucleus of a design analysis and synthesis system which has been used to design several major chips.<>
