A human machine interface for silicon compilation

Abstract

A description is given of a novel human-machine interface for use as a design environment for silicon compilation. It is important for a human machine interface to support a tool which realizes quick turn around time with little possibility of user errors. Designers should be able to work with little interference with their thinking process. To realize such a design environment, the authors have developed an LCD digitizer, and it has been demonstrated that this device can be a designer-friendly human-machine interface.<>
