New direction in CAD toolsChip and software development communities are concerned with the runaway pace of chip development and the monumental problems which can quickly accumulate and overwhelm those charged with the task of IC development. This 'weight' must be transferred from the shoulders of the human developers to the software tools which assimilate and control the defining data of the development process. This paper details many of the problems which are being resolved by reviewing the obstacles and resultant advancements which the industry has made. Specifically, it will describe many of the things which are being done in one company to provide this much-needed relief.
