Design of a logic synthesis system (tutorial)
Richard L. Rudell · 1996
Logic synthesis systems are c omplex systems and algorithmic research in synthesis has become highly specialized.This creates a gap where it is often not clear how an advance i n a p articular algorithm translates into a better synthesis system.This tutorial starts by describing a set of constraints which synthesis algorithms must satisfy to be useful.A small set of established t e chniques are r eviewed r elative to these criteria to understand their applicability and the potential for further research in these areas.
