Body
May be this question a bit not for StackOverflow, but both compilers and Verilog (which can be considered as programming language) are related to this project. Where can I find a open-source (or downloadable and free-to-noncommercial-use) compiler from Verilog language to the GDSII format or to Netlist? There are a lot of Verilog simulators (which compile it to native machine code or to the C), a lot of Verilog-to-FPGA compilers, but I want compiler, able to generate geometric structures of transisors from Verilog. Netlist is <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Netlist" rel="nofollow">http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Netlist</a> - interconnect of IC elements, such as transistor, resistor or even cells (?). It can be converted to GDSII, but if compiler works on "Verilog->Netlist", I also need a free convertor "Netlist->GDS2". GDSII <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GDSII" rel="nofollow">http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GDSII</a> - is a format of VLSI integrated circuits (IC), which is acceptable by founrdies for IC fabrication. It is nearly impossible to a single human to get his GDSII fabricated in Silicon, but I think, it can be intresting to try of compiling small examples. This compiler can use "full-custom" (it will draw all transistors itself), or "cell-based" designs (verilog is compiled into a geometric set of some library cells). Of course, the compiler required can be a university project, which can't compile a big verilog project. Thanks.

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
