[comp.lsi.cad] Automatic layout

jcc@lotus.UUCP (Joe Camaratta) (09/02/88)

I was wondering if anyone knows of programs which perform
automatic layout of a circuit given a netlist description?  We
need something less than a silicon compiler, but more than a
design aid such as Magic.  I understand that Mason by David La
Potin will perform this sort of floorplanning.  Is it available?
Any other ideas?  Thank you for your time.
