Abstract :
The GS1000 is a graphics supercomputer constructed from 2 million gates in a CMOS gate-array technology allowing approximately 50 K gates per chip. The size and complexity of the hardware required a top-down, integrated design process. CAE (computer-aided engineering) tools for schematic capture, simulation, and automatic test-pattern generation were purchased and combined with proprietary tools to form an integrated design environment. The proprietary tools provide functionality missing in commercially available tools, as well as the basic integration mechanism and a high degree of automation in the Stellar environment.<>
