The Application Accelerator Illustration System is a prototype of an integrated CAD environment that supports the development of application-specific integrated circuits. The current implementation features a hardware description language compiler, timing analyzer, functional simulator, waveform tracer, and data path place and route facility. The system is implemented in Smalltalk-80™.
