An integral part of any computer-aided design system for integrated circuits is a layout system that transforms the logical circuit descriptions into physical descriptions. This transformation is normally partitioned into three areas, namely, placement, routing, and art work generation. Within Sandia's CAD system, the functions of placement and routing are performed by the SLOOP and SICLOPS programs. and the artwork is generated by the Sandia Micro Artwork Generation for Integrated Circuits (SMAGIC) System. SMAGIC, which was developed in response to the need to process large hierarchically designed circuits, supports Sandia's current CAD philosophies while providing a user-oriented artwork generation capability.
