Controller optimization for protocol intensive applications
A. Crews, Forrest D. Brewer · European Design Automation Conference · 1996
Applications implementing complex protocols tax the capabilities of conventional finite state machine synthesis techniques. In this paper, we present sequential optimization techniques whose complexity scales with the number of state bits rather than the number of states. These techniques create designs which are comparable or superior to those synthesized by conventional state-based optimization and assignment. Furthermore, they provide viable synthesis techniques for designs which are too large for synthesis with the conventional method.
