MULTISIMPC: A Multilevel Logic Simulator for Microcomputers

摘要

This thesis describes extensions to a multilevel VLSI logic simulator named MultiSim. Originally developed by Dr. Ausif Mahmood of the Washington State University for large minicomputers such as the VAX-11780, MultiSim is now operational on desktop microcomputers costing only a few thousand dollars. In addition, MultiSim has been expanded to include provisions for adding user-defined primitive cells to a circuit library, true multilevel circuit expansion, and multiple variations of library primitives within a single circuit.
