Users need to access design data for a variety of reasons. Designers may be interested in accessing repositories of IP blocks for possible inclusion in their own designs. Alternatively, EDA tool developers and purchasers need a representative set of designs to evaluate or benchmark software. This poster presents a web-based system used both for profiling designs and for searching for designs with specific characteristics. The STEED system summarised here is based on external information models that tailor it to user requirements.
