TLDR
The data model and its internal schema is suggested, which is suitable for the VHDL semantics, and allows a designer to reconfigure the designed schematic by binding its generic components to technology-specific ones.Abstract:
A system-level design environment (SDE) for the VHSIC hardware description language (VHDL) is presented. The object-oriented approach is used for modeling the VHDL entities, design constraints, and even design patterns. The data model and its internal schema, which are suitable for the VHDL semantics, are proposed. SDE allows a designer to reconfigure the designed schematic by binding its generic components to technology-specific ones. It is effectively used for version control. SDE verifies the design by dynamically checking the constraints. The standard VHDL is extended in order to represent the constraints properly. >read more

Design apparatus and a method for generating an implementable description of a digital system
TL;DR: In this article, the authors present a design apparatus compiled on a computer environment for generating from a behavioral description of a system comprising at least one digital system part, an implementable description for said system, said behavioral description being represented on said computer environment as a first set of objects with a first sets of relations there between, said implementable descriptions being represented as a second set of object with a second sets of relation there between.

System and method for controlling versions of objects in an object oriented computing environment
James B. Anderson,Francis L. Fitzpatrick,William M. Hans,Charles B. Harvey,Herman Mitchell,James R. Wason +5 more
TL;DR: In this article, a system and method for controlling versions of selected objects in an object oriented computing system includes a common logical key attribute in each version of an object, which is used to identify all versions of an objects.

Object-oriented techniques in hardware design
TL;DR: This work uses C++ to demonstrate the usefulness of object-oriented techniques, not to provide arguments for or against its use in hardware modeling and design.

PSM: an object-oriented synthesis approach to multiprocessor system design
TL;DR: Performance synthesis methodology (PSM) is an object-oriented system-level synthesis approach to multiprocessor system design that is not only much more efficient when synthesizing parallel systems, but also produces better parallel systems than currently available uniprocesser system- level synthesis tools.

Modeling concepts for VLSI CAD objects
Don Batory,Won Kim +1 more
TL;DR: This paper identifies modeling concepts that are fundamental to capturing the semantics of VLSI CAD design objects and versions in terms of molecular objects and a provisional set of user operations on design objects, consistent with these modeling concepts, is defined.

Generalized version control in an object-oriented database
TL;DR: The authors consider the nature of design objects, and develop some functional requirements for version control of such objects, then discuss the relationship between versions and the objects they exemplify and arrive at a flexible notion of a context containing rules for version selection.

An extensible object-oriented approach to databases for VLSI/CAD
TL;DR: This paper describes an approach to the specification and modeling of information associated with the design and evolution of VLSI components, characterized by combined structural and behavioral descriptions of a component.

Design Version Management
TL;DR: A version server is developed that supports an object -oriented model for organizing design data and provides operational mechanisms for controlling the design's evolution, such as object check-in/checkout and a validation subsystem.

An object-oriented VLSI CAD framework
TL;DR: It is shown, in the context of an actual prototype VLSI CAD framework called Cbase, how concepts such as data abstraction, property and operation inheritance, object specialization/generalization, code reusability, and polymorphism offered by object-oriented database management systems (OODBMSs) support rapid prototyping.
