[comp.lsi] silicon compilers

rholt@ge-dab.UUCP (Russ Holt) (04/29/87)

This is a request for information about importing blocks
to Silicon Compiler systems.(SCSC,SST,etc.)
Does anyone know of a translator from GDSii to CIF that
is easy to use?
Is there a program for extracting layer nos. and 
property values from these?
Any information on interfacing CALMA GDSii to other
GDSii files?
Any information related to the above questions would
be greatly appreciated.

You can reach me at 904-258-2563 or just post the
response on the net.

Any interest in form a Silicon Compiler users group?
Please contact me at the above number or email at
rholt@silicon.DAB.GE.COM

Thanks in advance,
Russ Holt <rholtve trguet/au

Well, if we are going to discuss silicon compilers perhaps we should
define what one is.  A system that produces layout from a behavioral 
description?  A system that produces layout from a structural description?  
Do they differ from complicated module generators?
