VLSI from a User's PerspectiveOrhow to utilize VLSI without blowinghundreds of thousands of dollars and

several years

Instructor: Rex RiceAudience: Current and prospective VLSIusers/planners/workers/watchers, includ-ing but not limited to managers, systemplanners, system architects, logic design-ers, design automation specialists, silicondesigners, packaging engineers, and testengineers.Course Description: This tutorial is de-signed to provide a broad interdisciplinaryperspective on the present and potentialuse of VLSI. It will emphasize economicconsiderations rather than cover detailsof processes. It will include a historicalperspective and present examples of cur-rent VLSI programs. The main portion ofthe tutorial will trace a VLSI designthrough the complete process startingwith system design and ending with atested computer. Available alternativesand economic considerations will be dis-cussed for each major step. Particularemphasis will be placed on hazards to beavoided.

Rex Rice is an independent consultingengineer specializing in digital systems,and has been actively engaged in thecomputing field since 1949. He has pub-lished over 50 papers and holds morethan 20 computer patents. While at IBMhe managed the development of the firsttransistorized computer.

He is best known for his work at Fair-child: the invention of the Dual In-LinePackage (DIP); managing the first largesilicon memory program, the ILLIAC IVmain memory; and for his early percep-tion of work in bus-oriented, functionallysplit array logic systems. The SYMBOLcomputer which he conceived and theprogram he managed (1966-70) to de-velop it have provided the most sophisti-cated direct implementation of a high-level language in hardware presently inexistence. Many of its features are justnow appearing in new systems.

Rice, who received his BA in mechani-cal engineering at Stanford in 1940, hastaught graduate computer courses atUSC. He is an IEEE Fellow, a member ofthe Computer Society Governing Board,and founder of the COMPCONs.Course Outline:Historical Review and Attempted Fore-cast: Steps from transistors to VLSI willbe traced. Emphasis will be placed oneconomic motivations and changing jobskills for workers in the field.Current Examples: One university andtwo commercial examples of successfulVLSI programs will be reviewed. Two in-teresting but less successful projects willbe covered for contrast.Description of VLSI Design, Fabrication,and Testing Process: Each step in theprocess will be discussed covering criti-cal parameters and required decisions:choice of circuit/silicon technology; sys-tem architecture/logic; simulation; designautomation; marketing, fabrication, andassembly; and testingHazards Frequently EncounteredEconomic Review and Wrap-Up

Microcomputer SystemDesign and Techniques

Instructor: Carol A. OgdinAudience: Computer programmers, sys-tems analysts, and managers who haveexperience with large-scale computers,minicomputers, operating systems, andprogramming languages.Course Description: Many of the tech-niques essential to the application ofmicrocomputers are familiar to program-mers and analysts, and some are vastlydifferent. Writing software that will be per-manently fixed in read-only memory, andin hundreds or thousands of copies,makes a difference in the strategies bestused.

This one-day tutorial takes advantageof the participant's experience with otherkinds of computing systems to discussthe technology of micros. The significantdifferences from traditional computersystem design are carefully explained.Some of these differences include requi-site knowledge of electronic circuitry,subtle effects of software engineeringdiscipline, and demolition of the outdatednotion that software is always more ex-pensive than hardware!

The active participant will emerge fromthis tutorial adequately prepared to selec-tively read the technical literature andidentify the appropriate application areaswhere micros excel.Carol Anne Ogdin is technical director ofSoftware Technique, Alexandria, Virginia.She is especially active in applying thelatest software engineering and digitaldesign strategies to the implementationof special-purpose computers. She is anacknowledged industry expert on microsand is in frequent demand as a consul-tant, lecturer, and author. Ogdin is con-sulting editor to both Mini-Micro Systemsand EDN magazines, has three books inprint on microcomputer design and man-agement, and is an ACM National Lec-turer.
