THE THIRD PHYSICAL DESIGN
WORKSHOP
Module Generation and Silicon Compilation
Nemacolin Woodlands, Laurel Highlands, Pennsylvania, USA
May 20-22, 1991
Sponsored by ACM SIGDA
In cooperation with The IEEE Computer Society DATC
You are invited to participate in the Physical Design Workshop sponsored by
ACM SIGDA to be held at The Nemacolin Woodlands Conference Center in the
Laurel Highlands outside Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania on May 20-22, 1991.
Presentations will focus on Integrated circuit physical design with
emphasis on recent developments in module generation and silicon
compilation. Presented papers will be collected and distributed at the
workshop as a limited distribution Proceedings. To facilitate comparison
of results a set of standard benchmark circuits have been distributed.
Please contact the Workshop Benchmark Chair to obtain more information
about the benchmarks for the workshop. If you wish to participate in the
benchmarking competition, please inform the Workshop Benchmark Chair by May
1, 1991. Since the workshop will be limited in the number of attendees,
please register early.
