In this paper we present an advanced functional extraction tool for automatic generation of high-level RTL from switch-level circuit netlist representation. The tool is called FEV...
Ever-growing complexity is forcing design to move above RTL. For example, golden functional models are being written as clearly as possible in software and not optimized or intend...
—Logic optimization is the step of the very large scale integration (VLSI) design cycle where the designer performs modifications on a design to satisfy different constraints suc...

Scheduling is widely recognized as a very important step in highlevel synthesis. Nevertheless, it is usually done without taking into account the effects on the actual hardware im...
