The Validity of Retiming Sequential Circuits
Retiming has been proposed as an optimizationstep forsequential circuits represented at the net-list level. Retiming moves the latches across the logic gates and in doing so chang...

Multi-way Partitioning for Minimum Delay for Look-Up Table Based FPGAs
In this paper we present a set cover based approach (SCP) to multi-way partitioning for minimum delay for Look-Up Table based FPGAs. SCP minimizes the number of chip-crossings on ...

Rephasing: A Transformation Technique for the Manipulation of Timing Constraints
- We introduce a transformation, named rephasing, that manipulates the timing parameters in control-dataflow graphs. Traditionally high-level synthesis systems for DSP have either ...

Extreme Delay Sensitivity and the Worst-Case Switching Activity in VLSI Circuits
Abstract We observe that the switching activity at a circuit node, also called the transition density, can be extremely sensitive to the circuit internal delays. As a result, sligh...
