Linking the Behavioral and Structural Domains of Representation in a Synthesis Systems

摘要

Hierarchical design representation can be a useful approach to the problem of handling the complexity of digital designs. A means of linking together hierarchical behavorial representations in a design system is presented. Along with other information, this linking correlates the abstract behavior and logical structure together, opening the way for multilevel analysis aids that include these levels. Multilevel simulation is briefly discussed.
