Session 2220 Animation of VLSI CAD Algorithms – A Case Study John A. Nestor Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering Lafayette CollegeAbstractThe design of modern VLSI chips requires the extensive use of Computer-Aided Design(CAD) tools. Undergraduate VLSI Design courses typically teach the use of these toolsto create designs, but provide little or no information about how the tools work, whichmakes it difficult to use them effectively. The goal of the CADAPPLETS project is toprovide a set of Java animations which will aid students in visualizing the
