ALLI@NCE a FREE VLSI CAD system

[KARLZ]

Alliance is a complete set of free CAD tools and portable libraries for VLSI design. It includes a VHDL compiler and simulator, logic synthesis tools, and automatic place and route tools. A complete set of portable CMOS libraries is provided, including a RAM generator, a ROM generator and a data-path compiler. Alliance is the result of a ten year effort spent at ASIM department of LIP6 laboratory of the Pierre et Marie Curie University (Paris VI, France). Alliance has been used for research projects such as the 875 000 transistors StaCS superscalar microprocessor and 400 000 transistors IEEE Gigabit HSL Router. More...

Nice system intro, but after playing with it for a while, still can't figure out how to use it for plain vanila VHDL synthesis and/or simulation.

'Electric' is another free system, but hasthe same problems as Alliance. Not general purpose at all.
