This paper surveys the developments in VLSI that were triggered by the Mead-Conway design style. Computer-aided design tools and new architectures are reviewed, and future trends are suggested. The most significant future developments in tools are likely to center around the joining of procedural and graphical design methods, and the need for good routing aids. In the area of architecture, one of the most important unsolved problems is how to integrate special-purpose VLSI circuits easily into general-purpose computing systems.
