Timing optimizations during logic synthesis has become a necessary step to achieve timing closure in VLSI designs. This often involves “shortening” all paths found in the circ...
Abstract—We propose a novel synthesis technique for reversible logic based on ant colony optimization (ACO). In our ACO-based approach, reversible logic synthesis is formulated a...
for a state machine which is an abstraction for an existing sequential circuit, which can be useful for redesign or engineering change. The generated state machines can be further ...
This paper analyses the performance of a genetic algorithm using a new concept, namely a fractional-order dynamic fitness function, for the synthesis of combinational logic circuit...
As we move towards nanometer technology, manufacturing problems become overwhelmingly difficult to solve. Presently, optimization for manufacturability is performed at a post-synt...
