Retiming is a transformation that optimizes a sequential circuit by relocating the registers. When the circuit has an initial state, one must compute an equivalent initial state f...
Traditional minimum area retiming algorithms attempt to achieve their prescribed objective with no regard to maintaining the initial state of the system. This issue is important f...
Abstract We propose a novel approach to preserve the synchronizing sequences of a circuit after retiming. The significance of this problem stems from the necessity of maintaining c...

Transformations using retiming and resynthesis operations are the most important and practical (if not the only) techniques used in optimizing synchronous hardware systems. Althoug...
