Data Base Design for Digital Design Automation.

摘要

Data organization is perhaps the most important aspect of any design automation system. This paper describes a data base designed and presently in use at the Lawrence Livermore Laboratory. The structure is quite flexible and may be used for purposes other than digital design automation. The structure of the data base is described in detail,with a discussion of factors motivating specific features of the design. Utilization of the data base by application subsystems is also described,with a brief discussion of implementation experiences.
