- Description:
- Phil Petit for initiating the first interactive electronic design system, SUDS. Phil Petit initiated the development of the Stanford University Drawing System (SUDS), which was the first graphical computer aided design system used for the design of a real computer. It allowed designers to do both logic drawings and physical layouts on printed circuit cards and cross-check them for consistency. When the design was complete it produced artwork for printed circuit cards and backpanel wiring instructions that would control an automatic wiring machine. Dick Helliwell subsequently took over further development and maintenance of SUDS and went with it to the Digital Equipment Corporation, where it was used as their primary design tool for at least a decade. It was also used by Information International Incorporated (III), Foonly Inc., Valid Logic, and Cisco Systems. SAIL user Andy Bechtolsheim used it to design both the original SUN (Stanford University Network) workstations and all of those manufactured by Sun Microsystems for a number of years.
