Optimal design of central processor data paths
Keki B. Irani, George Albert. McClain · 1972
The research described in this paper deals with the design automation of the central processor of a digital computing system. The principal aim has been to lay the groundwork for a new and unexplored area in the field of computer design. While conventional design automation systems provide the user with a convenient method of describing his design, we explore the possibility of giving the user the ability of describing the desired computer architecture along with the available building blocks with which it is to be implemented.
