Abstract
In this paper, we survey some XML applications and propose a customized XML for VLSI physical design automation, called Physical Design Markup Language (PDML). First, we construct a Class Hierarchical Diagram (CHD) using UML for our physical design framework. Following this CHD, algorithm developers can convert the internal object-models of their algorithms into a PDML form and plug them into the physical design framework such that the algorithms can be shared by users through internet. The developers can also refine an algorithm by remodeling the related object-model without changing the entire part of an algorithm and then pass the new object-model of that algorithm to the framework site immediately by internet. In such a way, PDML can also support a standard for exchanging data model used in VLSI physical design on the internet.
