DARPA s VLSI Project provided research funding to a wide variety of university based teams in an effort to improve the state of the art in microprocessor design, then known as Very large scale integration VLSI . Although little known, notably in comparison to their work on what became the internet , the VLSI Project is likely one of the most influential research projects in modern computer history. Its offspring include the RISC processor concept, many of the CAD tools still in use today, 32 bit graphics workstations , Fabless semiconductor company fabless design houses and its own Fab semiconductors fab , MOSIS . A similar DARPA project partnering with industry, VHSIC , is generally considered to have had little or no impact.

Multi Project Chip MPC or Multi Project Wafer MPW services integrate onto microelectronics wafers a number of different integrated circuit designs from various teams including designs from private firms, students and researchers from universities. Because IC fabrication costs are extremely high, it makes sense to share mask and wafer resources to produce designs in low quantities. Worldwide, several MPW services are available from government supported institutions or from private firms including MOSIS, CMP and Europractice. The first well known MPW service was MOSIS Metal Oxide Silicon Implementation Service , established by DARPA as a technical and human infrastructure for VLSI . MOSIS began in 1981 after Lynn Conway organized the first VLSI System Design Course at M.I.T. in 1978. MOSIS primarily services commercial users now but continues to serve university students and researchers. With MOSIS, designs are submitted for fabrication using either open i. e., non proprietary VLSI Design rule checking layout design rules or vendor proprietary rules. Designs are pooled into common lots and run through the fabrication process at foundries. The completed chips packaged or unpackaged are returned to customers. Many silicon fabrication facilities offer MPW runs or a company can produce its own MPW, e.g. combine several of its own designs to form one wafer completely owned by the company. In the latter case, it may be profitable to use most of the wafer for production chips and a small portion for producing prototypes of next generation chips.

Resolution enhancement technology RET is a form of image processing technology used to manipulate dot characteristics popular among laser printer and inkjet printer manufacturers. Closely related RET techniques are also used in Very large scale integration VLSI photolithography manufacturing technology, in particular in relation to 90 nanometre technology. Resolution refers to the sharpness of image detail, smoothness of curved lines, and the faithful reproduction of an image. In both cases, RET uses pre compensation of the image in order to try to mitigate the effects of the printing process. Among the major issues in RET in VLSI technology are the fundamental properties of a wave amplitude, phase, and direction.

Random logic is a semiconductor circuit design technique that translates high level logic descriptions directly into hardware features such as AND and OR gates. The name derives from the fact that few easily discernible patterns are evident in the arrangement of features on the chip and in the interconnects between them. In VLSI chips, random logic is often implemented with standard cell s and gate array s. ref cite book title Digital Integrated Circuit Design From VLSI Architectures to CMOS Fabrication first Hubert last Kaeslin publisher Cambridge University Press year 2008 isbn 9780521882675 page 747 ref Random logic accounts for a large part of the circuit design in modern microprocessor s. Compared to microcode , another popular design technique, random logic offers faster execution of processor opcode s, provided that processor speeds are faster than memory speeds. A disadvantage is that it is difficult to design random logic circuitry for processors with large and complex instruction sets. The hard wired instruction logic occupies a large percentage of the chip s real estate, and it becomes difficult to lay out the logic so that related circuits are close to one another. ref cite book title Write Great Code Understanding the Machine first Randall last Hyde publisher No Starch Press year 2004 isbn 9781593270032 page 228 ref References reflist Category Semiconductors ... more details

Neuromorphic engineering or neuromorphic computing is a concept developed by Carver Mead , in the late 1980s, describing the use of very large scale integration VLSI systems containing electronic analog circuit s to mimic neuro biological architectures present in the nervous system. In recent times the term neuromorphic has been used to describe analog, digital, and mixed mode analog digital VLSI and software systems that implement models of neural system s for perception , motor control , or sensory processing . A key aspect of neuromorphic engineering is understanding how the morphology of individual neurons, circuits, and overall architectures create desirable computations, affect how information is represented, influences robustness to damage, incorporates learning and development, and facilitates evolutionary change. Neuromorphic engineering is a new interdisciplinary discipline that takes inspiration from biology , physics , mathematics , computer science and engineering to design artificial neural systems, such as vision system s, head eye system s, auditory processor s, and autonomous robots, whose physical architecture and design principles are based on those of biological nervous systems. An example of neuromorphic computer hardware is the Neurogrid board built by the Brains in Silicon group at Stanford University .
