Abstract

A description of environments for VLSI and software development is provided. Many similarities exist because of the common difficulties of building complex systems in either software or hardware. These similarities include support for the complete system life cycle as well as the differences, e.g., the overwhelming need for simulation aids in the VLSI design domain. Development environments of the future will have to be able to support both disciplines because distinctions between the two continue to disappear, and because large systems need to incorporate both hardware and software components in their designs.
