Corolla based circuit partitioning and resynthesis
Sujit Kumar Dey, F. Brglez, Gershon Kedem · 1990
This paper introduces a circuit partitioning method based on analysis of reconvergent fanout. We consider a DAG model for a circuit. We define a corolla as a set of overlapping reconvergent fanout regions. We partition the DAG into a set of non-overlapping corollas and use the corollas to resynthesize the circuit. We show that resynthesis of large benchmark circuits consistently reduces transistor pairs and layout area while improving delay and testability.
