摘要
Olympus, a synthesis system for digital design developed at Stanford University, is a vertically integrated set of tools for multilevel synthesis, technology mapping, and simulation. The system supports the synthesis of ASICs from behavioral descriptions written in a hardware description language called HardwareC. Two internal models represent the hardware at different levels of abstraction and provide a way to pass design information among different tools. Olympus has been used to design three ASIC chips at Stanford, and it has been tested against benchmark circuits for high-level and logic synthesis. © 1990 IEEE
