Abstract
The manufacturing-related tasks in the engineering design of digital systems are those processes which translate a logic design into a functioning physical system. That is, they begin with a description of the system as an interconnection of logic units (such as gates, flip-flops, counters, memories, ALU's, etc.) transforming it into a description of the placement of physical modules and the wiring which interconnects specific terminals on these modules. This portion of the design process has been the one which first saw substantial application of computing, vastly improving the speed, accuracy and capacity of the design organization. It is in this area still that the bulk of the production digital design automation systems are categorized.Keywords
