Digital systems design automation: a simulation-based framework
Pages 853 - 857
Abstract
In this paper a system design environment is presented for the design of digital systems on higher abstraction levels. The higher levels begin with the requirements and go down to the register transfer level, where the use of existing CAD-systems can begin. In the first version a fixed method is offered that can be changed and adapted in later versions; in this ease the system design environment presents only a framework.
The most important step in our system design environment is the validation of a design. For this step several methods are offered: Petrinets, analytical and numerical methods and the most significant simulation.
After presentation of the methodology the tool support for the method is discussed. Tools which already exist and in addition newly developed tools are presented as well as their connections and combinations. In addition to the tools, some general sections describing a user interface and the data base are presented.
