  • Abstract
    The proliferation of engineering workstations and silicon foundries has made portability a critical issue for today´s integrated circuit engineer. The two forms of such portability must be clearly distinguished and addressed separately. This paper describes a way of protecting investment in designs and design tools by using (i) portable compiler technology and (ii) silicon compilation techniques, to give the engineer the options of machine and process portability.
