Abstract :
A tight integration strategy developed during the realization of a hardware synthesis system is described. It allows online visualization of data changes caused for example by a synthesis tool. Common data schemes for various design views were designed. For manipulation of each design view one abstract data type is provided, avoiding redundant implementations. Communication structures for concurrent manipulation of common data structures were developed. The system architecture allows easy system extension/configuration
