The Design Automation Assistant, DAA, is a knowledge-based expert-system that generates a technology-independent list of operators, registers, data paths and control signals from an algorithmic description of a VLSI system. This chapter shows the generality of design knowledge in the DAA by comparing and contrasting an IBM System/370 designed by an expert human designer, Claud Davis, against the design produced by the DAA. For each difference, possible changes in the CMU/DA system and the DAA are discussed. Davis himself felt the design produced by the DAA exhibited the quality he would expect from one of his better designers.
