We currently have two GPX's for use in IC design in the CAD lab. One was slated to be moved into the new 3D lab and the other was to go into one of the PPS rooms. We also have two AED terminals but no CPU's to run them on. Morgan has asked that both of the GPX's be moved into the 3D lab. The advantages to this would be keeping all of the IC resources together and would make both GPX's convenient to the 3D team. The disadvantage would be that anyone needing a graphics terminal for other designs would need to intrude into the 3D lab. I currently see very limited non-3D use for the second terminal: Pat may need to do some touch-up on his gate array and Doug may need some time for the ASAP at a later date. Simulations, DRC's, etc could be run on the other CPU's. If anyone has any strong feelings on the matter, please let me know. Otherwise, we'll plan on moving both of the GPX's into the 3D lab along with the manuals and the Versatec plotter. The actual move won't take place for at least two weeks. -- Don
