[net.arch] Hardware Description Systems?

spry@uiucdcsb.CS.UIUC.EDU (09/09/86)

Hardware description systems and simulators on UNIX systems.

	I am looking for a hardware description system that includes a
hardware description language and a simulator.  An example of such a system
would be the VHDL system being developed for the DoD by Intermeterics, or
the ISPS system developed by Dr. Mario Barbacci at CMU.  The disadvantage of
both these systems for me is that they do not run under the UNIX operating
system.

	I only have ready access to various versions of UNIX running on VAX,
Sun, and AT&T systems.  Does any hardware system exist in the UNIX
environment?  I would appreciate any information or pointers on such a
system.

	Please mail replies and I will post a summary if there is a lot of
interest.

The N.2 system from
	ENDOT Inc.,
	11001 Cedar Avenue,
	Cleveland, OH 44106
will fill your needs.  It shares some common history with ISPS
( a touchy subject with some people).  It is available on many
UNIX machines, and is a supported product.  I have used it a lot
and have been very satisfied with it.  Needless to say I did not
pay for it personally.
