Previous efforts to build hardware accelerators for VLSI layout Design Rule Checking(DRC) were hobbled by the fact that it is often impractical to build a different rulecheckingASIC each time design rules or fabrication processes change. In this paper, wepropose a configurable hardware approach to DRC. It can garner impressive speedupsover software approaches, while retaining the flexibility needed to change the rule checkeras rules or processes change
