- CALL FOR PAPERS
-
- VLSI DESIGN :
- International Journal of Custom Chip Design,
- Simulation, and Testing.
-
-
- SPECIAL ISSUE ON
- PARALLEL SOLUTIONS FOR VLSI DESIGN AUTOMATION
-
-
- VLSI DESIGN is a new international journal which will be
- published by Gordon and Breach Publishers starting 1993.
- A special issue on "Parallel Solutions for VLSI Design
- Automation" is being planned for late 1993. The guest
- editors for the special issue are Dr. C.P. Ravikumar and
- Prof. L.M. Patnaik. Papers are sought for the special issue,
- on topics that are related to parallel architectures and/or
- parallel algorithms for VLSI design automation applications.
-
- BACKGROUND
-
- Algorithms for VLSI/CAD can be highly compute-intensive
- due to large problem sizes involved. As a result,
- a number of attempts have been made in the recent past
- to accelerate CAD tasks through the use of parallel
- and distributed processing. Some of the design tasks for
- which higher speeds are required are -- VLSI Placement
- and Routing, Circuit Simulation, Logic Simulation, High-level
- Synthesis, Test Generation, and Fault Simulation.
- The special issue will focus on parallel implementations
- of design automation.
-
-
- INSTRUCTIONS FOR AUTHORS
-
- Submit 5 copies of the manuscript, not exceeding 35
- double-spaced typed pages including figures and tables,
- to Dr. C.P. Ravikumar (address given below). The topics
- of interest for the special issue are
-
- . Hardware Accelerators for Design Automation Applications
- . Parallel Architectures for Design Automation Applications
- . Parallel Implementations of CAD software on
- General-Purpose Parallel Computers
- . Hardware/Software Tradeoffs in Designing Accelerators
- . Parallel Algorithms for Combinatorial Optimization
-
-
- SUBMISSION DEADLINE
-
- The papers must be received by the guest editors
- by March 31, 1993.
