Abstract
A computer implemented architectural design method for designing an integrated circuit. An algorithmic description of the behavior of the integrated circuit is created (step 202), from which a register transfer logic (RTL) implementation (400, 500) of the integrated circuit is generated by performing a set of design tasks (steps 204-212). The RTL implementation is modified after performing one of the design tasks by branching to another design task such that the design tasks are performed in any order. Data is stored in a common database (12) which can be edited interactively through one of a plurality of data editors (14-22).
