| Abstract | SILEX is an open and integrated system built up to aid the design of integrated circuits. The SILEX System is composed of internal resources and user tools (clients of the resources). The user has at his disposal a graphic interface based on the use of windows, activating tools in an uniform and consistent way. The SILEX CAD system is formed by a set of interdependent modules (tools), each one realizing certain function and transmitting data. The designer is client of a set of processes that answer his/her requests. The main idea of the project is to hide from the final user all tasks which are not directly related to the art of design, like format conversion, data storage and maintenance and user interaction with tools. One of the goals of the system is the regularity in its use, for there is always the need to integrate new tools. The user can suply new algorithms that may be included in the working environment without any change in the SILEX code. The system helps tool designers by suplying them with a set of routines, coding rules and resources. The set of routines allows integration of the tool with the system, while the coding rules normalize the use of the available resources. All data generated by the user interaction with the available tools is linked to a Project, previously defined and cataloged. Data is then handled by a dedicated tool performing I/O, responsible for the reading, writing and converting of data among different tools, freeing User Tools from this task. By being centralized, Project Data are controlled regarding access, dependency and versioning. SILEX is completely built on top of the OpenWindows environment. Its goal is to initially provide simple and efficient solutions that allow the integration of a set of tools. Next tasks will be the enhancement of the system so that SILEX acquires all desirable characteristics not yet reached or reported in the literature. UFRGS INSTITUTO :TT r,..!7),RMATICA |
