We present the modeling of the high-level design of a next generation network switch from the perspective of a Computer-Aided Design (CAD) team within the larger context of a design team consisting of an experienced network switch designer and an experienced VLSI hardware designer. After facilitating the design process, the CAD team observed how designers approach high-level designs, beyond RTL. We motivate the need for CAD support that allows designers to effectively manipulate what we refer to as Memory Visualization Level (MVL) design.
Index Terms:
computer-aided design, memory visualization level design, network switch, performance modeling, system modeling
