the following includes a table header with a blank cell
this is included for all headings.
it will have the table header,
-------------------------------------------------------------------=
| a sidebar menu, | one row with the last modified date. |
| |-------------------------------------------=|
| spanning two rows, | ** This is where you are after the include.|
|--------------------=|-------------------------------------------=|
| include blankcell | Your main content goes here
after the include, the user should declare another
TD that has an H1 ALIGN=CENTER title, followed by an HR.

/shiNOOK/, n.
- "chinook salmon" a large salmon, Oncorhynchus
tshawytscha, of the N. Pacific.
- American Indian name of a tribe
- a warm dry wind which blows east of the Rocky Mountains.
- a warm wet southerly wind west of the Rocky Mountains.
- a rare American sled
dog
- a hardware-software co-synthesis CAD tool for real-time
embedded systems.
Chinook is a hardware-software co-synthesis CAD tool for embedded
systems. It is designed for control dominated, reactive
systems under timing constraints, with a new emphasis on
distributed architectures. Current topics include synthesis
of run-time support, communication synthesis, and efficient and
accurate co-simulation. The co-simulator -- Pia - is
available as a Java applet. More details will be available
shortly.
The way we envision Chinook to be used is that the designer
writes a behavioral description once, and uses Chinook to map it
onto several target architecture interactively. The designer makes
the partitioning and allocation decisions, and Chinook helps with
mapping. This enables designers to make informed design decisions
at the high level early in the design cycle, rather than reiterate
after having worked out all the low level details. Retargetability
will not only make the designs more maintainable but also enables
the designer to take advantage of new technologies, instead of
being tied down by legacy code.
