Multiple implementations of a microprocessor from a single high-level design
Michelle Brown, M.J. Kimmel · OSTI OAI (U.S. Department of Energy Office of Scientific and Technical Information) · 1983
The authors discuss the use of the interactive design language (IDL) for the design of three distinctly different physical implementations of a control microprocessor. The high-level, implementation-independent design and the simulation were done once in IDL. This one high-level design was transformed (more or less routinely) into an IBM NMOS custom version, and into a TTL lab version driven by IBM masterslice PLAS. 3 references.
