  • Abstract
    Developments in design tools over the past year are examined. Progress was more incremental than in the past, consisting of refinement rather than innovation. Logic synthesis gained acceptance, while behavioral-level synthesis moved a step closer to reality. Testability became a design parameter, hardware accelerators got even faster, and work continued on developing frameworks that will allow one tool to retrieve information from another and display it in a uniform manner.<>
