  • VLSI design methodologies and computer tools

    Creator:
    Lim, Daniel
    Abstract:
    The rapid development of semiconductor technology and the increasing complexity of VLSI chips have prompted both the industry and the academic community alike to take an indepth look at the VLSI design problem. Many design methodologies have been proposed and associated computer-aided tools developed. This thesis is a study of...

  • Acceleration of a heuristic PLA product term reduction program through complementation of the PLA specification

    Creator:
    Gilbert, John D.
    Abstract:
    Minimizing the number of product terms in a PLA implementation is a large step towards saving area on a VLSI chip using PLA logic. Due to the large amounts of computer time necessary to achieve this minimization, a number of heuristic approaches have been developed to provide near-optimal solutions in...

  • The architecture and design of a parallel sorting engine

    Creator:
    Bate, John G.
    Abstract:
    Sorting is typically a compute intensive operation used in many areas of industry. With improved technology, both in the VLSI and CAE areas, we can afford to develop hardware based database computers to move the work load off the main computer. In this thesis the architecture of a VLSI parallel...

  • The analysis and synthesis of a parallel sorting engine

    Creator:
    Ahn, Byoungchul
    Abstract:
    This thesis is concerned with the development of a unique parallel sort-merge system suitable for implementation in VLSI. Two new sorting subsystems, a high performance VLSI sorter and a four-way merger, were also realized during the development process. In addition, the analysis of several existing parallel sorting architectures and algorithms...
