Abstract
This report describes the design process and synthesis tools used in the UC Irvine CADLAB design environment to design a representative benchmark. The steps taken and rationale used in each stage of the design process are discussed. The benchmark is initially described using a VHDL behavioral description; results produced by each intermediate tool are presented, showing the system flow and integration of tools. The final silicon layout is performed in 3 micron CMOS technology.
