I have tried to sent this reply to Russ Holt's message on a Silicon Compiler
working group to all of the addresses in his message.  None of them made it
through the mail system, so my last resort is to send it to the list.

Russ,

There would be a lot of interest in a Silicon Compiler users group here at the
Naval Postgraduate School in Monterey, CA.  In the Electrical and Computer
Engineering department, a silicon compiler project has been active for four
years.  There are currently six graduate students and two professors in the
silicon compiler working group.  The main goal of the group is the conversion
of the nMOS MacPitts silicon compiler from MIT Lincoln Laboratory into a
multiple technology silicon compiler.  We are currently working on a SCMOS
version of the compiler.  We are working on all areas of silicon compilation
including routing algorithms, application-specific front end processors,
adaptive floor plans, cell design, and graphic input of a flow chart to a
silicon compiler.  My thesis involves design of a static SCMOS microprogrammed
controller that can be generated from a MacPitts design specification.  If
you start a silicon compiler users group, please add me to it.

Thanks,
Jim Harmon <harmon@nps-cs.arpa>
