RESEARCH SEMINAR:	Thursday, October 8, 1992, 10:30 - 11:30 AM
			Room 156, Applied Sciences

Martine Schlag, UC Santa Cruz, will speak on Routability-Driven
Technology Mapping for LookUp Table-based Field-Programmable Gate
Arrays


Field-Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGAs) are integrated circuits
consisting of arrays of gates that can be
configured -- and reconfigured -- by the system designer through
software, rather than by chip manufacturer in the fabrication line.
With realization times measured in hours, systems incorporating
up to thousands of gates on a single FPGA can be designed,
programmed and evaluated within a few weeks.
The success of FPGA technologies depends on
computer-aided design (CAD) software tools to support and guide the
design process.

This talk will focus on technology mapping for a LookUp Table-based FPGA
which is the task of converting a gate-level network into a network of 
LookUp Tables.
Previous research in this area has resulted in algorithms which
minimize the number of cells or the delay of the design.
Since the place-and-route phase is the most time-consuming
part of the FPGA design process, producing a design which can be
easily place-and-routed
with a slightly larger number of cells is more desireable than
producing a design with fewer cells but difficult to route, or 
even worse, unroutable.
By varying the average number of pins per cell and the average 
number of pins per net,
technology mapping can play a significant role in determining the likelihood 
of successfully completing the place-and-route phase (routability).
I shall present a new algorithm, Rmap, for technology mapping of 
LookUp Table-based FPGAs which not only produces slightly more
compact designs, but also has the flexibility of
trading routability with compactness of a design.
Our experiments have shown that this algorithm produces mappings with 
better routability charactersitics, and routable mappings when other 
technology mappers do not.

This is joint work with Jackson Kong and Pak Chan.

                          Forum for Congressional Candidates.
          Candidates to Address Technology and Public Policy Issues.


Palo Alto, Calif., September 30, 1992 -- Computer Professionals for 
Social Responsibility (CPSR), the national public interest organization 
based here, will co-sponsor a forum for candidates of the 14th 
Congressional district on Thursday, October 8, from 7:30 to 9:00 pm 
in the Palo Alto City Council Chambers.  The topic for the forum is 
Technology and Public Policy.

CPSR, along with the Palo Alto Weekly and both the San Mateo and 
Palo Alto chapters of the League of Women Voters have organized 
this forum as an opportunity for interested Silicon Valley 
constituents to hear first hand the four candidate's views on such 
topics as industrial policy, economic conversion, the role of 
technology in education, the viability of a national computer 
network.

At the forum, Candidates Anna Eshoo (Democrat), Tom Heuning 
(Republican), Chuck Olson (Libertarian) and David Wald (Peace and 
Freedom) will give position statements and take questions from the 
audience.  Terry Winograd, professor of Computer Science at Stanford 
University, will be the moderator.

The City Council chambers are in the Palo Alto Civic Center at 
250 Hamilton Avenue.

Founded in 1981, CPSR is a national, non-profit, public interest 
organization of computer scientists and other professionals concerned 
with the impact of computer technology on society.  With offices in 
Washington, D.C. and Boston, CPSR's members provide the public and 
policymakers with expert testimony and assessments on the power, 
promise, and limitations of computer technology.

CSL SEMINAR

            A PROGRAMMATIC USE OF COMBINATORY ALGEBRA
                        IN COMPUTER SCIENCE
                        Prof. Erwin Engeler
                      ETH, Zurich, Switzerland
                     4:00 Friday, Oct. 9, 1992
             SRI International, Bldg. E. Room EJ 228

Abstract.  The use of the word "programmatic" in the title refers to two
aspects: 

  (a) considering combinatory algebra as the general backdrop for
      computational mathematics and developing it as an algebraic theory; 

  (b) using it to model cooperative processes in practical applications.  

Both aspects are underpinned by theorems, respectively software.

NOTE FOR VISITORS TO SRI:

Please arrive at least 10 minutes early in order to sign in and be shown to
the conference room.  SRI is located at 333 Ravenswood Avenue in Menlo Park.
Visitors may park in the visitors lot in front of Building A or E, and should
sign in at the lobby of Building E and wait to be escorted to the meeting
room.

TITLE:    When Cultures Collide

SPEAKER:  Clay Prince  
          Market Analyst, Cray Research, Inc.                                

An increasingly global marketplace characterized by interdependencies promotes
a more abstract view of competition and corporate autonomy.  No more capable
competition to U.S. business exists than that posed by Japan.

This presentation will examine the progress of the partnership/competitive
"game" between the U.S. and Japan from historical and current perspectives.
Examples from industry and warfare--both ancient and modern--will be used to
illustrate the consequences of awareness, and lack thereof, in the minds of the
players.  Case studies will be used to explore the strategic orientation and
direction of Japanese firms.  The session will be interactive.

TIME:          4:00 PM, Thursday, October 15, 1992

PLACE:         Hewlett-Packard, 5M Auditorium
	       1501 Page Mill Road, Palo Alto

VISITORS:      Non-HP guests are welcome.  Please come to the building 5
	       lobby on time to be escorted to the meeting.

REFRESHMENTS:  A wine and cheese reception will follow the talk.

I would like to thank the folks who showed up for dinner tonight.
I had a *great* time!  Talk about great conversationalists - we
talked about all sorts of subjects.  We'll have to do this again
sometime soon.

There were a few questions that came up about this event, in the
process of collecting RSVPs, so I would like to take a moment to
clarify.  

The question I got most often was: who am I and why am I doing this?

I'm just one of those net.people who likes hosting events.  It's 
usually not that much trouble (unless it's a really huge event)
and I generally have a really good time.  I've been around for about
4 years now, and was better-known, I suspect, 2 years ago than I am
now.

The other often-asked question was: am I invited to this event?

Everyone has their own styles of issuing invitations.  I'm not going
to get into an argument about that.  However, if I don't intend to
invite anyone reading, I don't post my invitations to the net.  So, if
you are reading my invitations on the net, or via someone on the net,
you are invited.  There is one caveat: I almost always require RSVPs,
and for some events, I ask for RSVPs before giving out addresses or
directions.  I have had one person complain bitterly about this.  The
only thing I can say in my defense is that having a number of unexpected
people show up for an event, particularly at a restaurant, can be a
nightmare.  I figure that people will either accommodate me on this,
or not, but I am not brave enough to give a headcount to a restaurant,
and tell everyone "just show up".

So, sometime after I get back from the BalloonBoink in Albuquerque,
I'll post another one of these dinner gettogethers.  Hopefully the
above info will make it easier for folks to decide whether or not
they want to go.

of you all (if time permits between flames) for any good
bars/lounges/hangouts that I might partake of. I'm looking for something
along the lines of the hard rock cafe or margarita ville, but something

Considering what a lame rejoinder you've supplied, I think you
might want to consider your own work before criticizing that
of others.

And I don't need to hold my own anymore.  I have someone who
can hold it for me.

Newbie?  I guess five or so years on the net is "newbie"
to some.  This silliness is cross-posted to so many
groups that it is possible you and I have never met before.

I count that as my good fortune, again in consideration of
the lameness of your material.

As for annoying my betters, I am never more amused than when
someone feels the need to declare himself the victor in order
to avoid actually writing anything worthwhile.

Don't look for a follow-up.  You're not worth the effort and
neither is this thread.  Oh but do show me how you are my
"better."  I can hardly wait to see it.
