Abstract

Control Data's Modular Integrated Design Automation System (MIDAS) is a highly integrated CAD system supporting the full range of activities required for the design of complex digital systems. From schematic capture through design verification and manufacturing, MIDAS emphasizes a structured top down approach, from chips to supercomputers. MIDAS is fully hierarchical and is capable of managing and controlling the design of some of the world's largest computers, as well as speeding up the design of smaller systems.
