One of the major operations in the VLSI programming language Tangram is the sequencing of computations. A description and critique of the current implementation for this operation is given. Several new implementations are described: one was developed within the SI-algebra framework and the others, based on a count-decode architecture, are the result of an "engineering approach" using a variety of tools.
