Chris Terman

简介

Chris Terman is a Senior Lecturer Emeritus in the EECS Dept. Terman implemented several early prototypes for microprocessor-based workstations that led to the development of the IEEE-1196 Bus Architecture (the NuBus) which introduced the idea of plug-and-play peripherals. In his work on CAD tools for VLSI circuits, Terman developed several algorithms for full-chip transistor-level timing simulation including SIM which was widely used in industry and academia.
