A logic design translator

The process of logic design of a computer is analogous to programming, using hardware for commands. Logic designers must frequently take imprecise narrative descriptions of computer systems, and, applying experience, ingenuity, inventiveness, and considerable perseverance, transform the description into a prescription for a running system. This process takes an inordinate amount of time. Considerable attention has been devoted to the reduction of programming time through the use of higher programming languages, such as ALGOL and COBOL, and conversion to machine code through translators. In a similar manner, translation of higher languages for logic and system design would greatly reduce the effort now needed to specify and design computer systems.
