Transformations using retiming and resynthesis operations are the most important and practical (if not the only) techniques used in optimizing synchronous hardware systems. Althoug...
Spacetime Discontinuous Galerkin (DG) methods are used to solve hyperbolic PDEs describing wavelike physical phenomena. When the PDEs are nonlinear, the speed of propagation of th...
