Algorithmics for Vlsi (International Lecture Series in Computer Series)

This book discusses integrated circuit technology from the system architecture level rather than from the basic levels of circuit design and logic design. Links between high level topological properties and system design are stressed. A theoretical approach to the complexity of VLSI is introduced by K. Mehlhorn and the final chapter by R. M. Lea describes an algorithmic approach especially suited for a VLSI realisation: a parallel processing architecture. This book will be of interest to computer scientists, especially system architects and algorithm developers, and also electronic engineers and VLSI designers. -taken from the back cover
