Recent research for testable designs has focussed on inserting test structures by re-arranging an Register-TransferLevel (RTL) data path generated from a behavioural description t...
Don't-care conditions provide additional flexibility in logic synthesis and optimization. However, most work only focuses on the gate level because it is difficult to handle ...
It is common wisdom that synthesizing hardware from higher-level descriptions than Verilog will incur a performance penalty. The case study here shows that this need not be the ca...

The development of application specific instruction set processors comprises several design phases: architecture exploration, software tools design, system verification and design...

We present a technique for synthesizing power- as well as area-optimized circuits from hierarchical data flow graphs under throughput constraints. We allow for the use of complex...
