Abstract

The potential LSI user views LSI promise with a great deal of anticipation, but LSI problems with some trepidation. Obviously, he hopes for breakthroughs to relieve the strain of having to squeeze the last bit of cost or performance from the existing technological approaches---and of having to contend with the added hardware and software problems fostered by the need to improve his product only through system complexity. There are, in fact, very few things the system designer can do that have the impact of a significant technology advance in cost or performance.
