SILT(ID:3508/sil007)

Dabis & Clerk Stanford 1986

SILT is an efficient, medium-level language to describe VLSI layout. Layout features are described in terms of a coordinate system based on the concept of relative geometry. SILT provides hierarchical cell description, a library format for parameterized cells with defaults for the parameters, constraint checking (but not enforcement), and some name control. It is designed to be used with a graphical interface, but can be used by itself.

It provides graphical hooks into many features describable in SILT. YALE runs under the V kernel, and makes use of a window manager than provides a multiple viewpoint capability.
