  • Abstract
    The automated layout facilities of the ASHLAR program, currently under development at the Defense Systems Division of Sperry Univac, are described. ASHLAR is an interactive layout system to be used in developing hierarchical VLSI designs with cells having arbitrary dimensions. Treatment of the problems of placement, power bus routing, and polysilicon interconnect usage are given particular attention. Finally, some results of a prototype implementation are presented.
