            Abstract : 
Various approaches to silicon compilation are evaluated. The advantages and disadvantages of each are discussed, and a silicon compilation environment is proposed that combines the approaches in such a way as to adopt the best features of the various methods and avoid their problems. Attention is also given to a set of support tools for this proposed environment.
