  • Abstract
    We describe an effort in applying database technology to the VLSI design process. By mixing software tools, relational database concepts, sophisticated index management, and existing VLSI design tools, we have built a flexible, interactive VLSI design system that provides data independence and technology independence. Design tools are interfaced with a centralized database to form an integrated design environment.
