The inherent distortion of the structural regularity of VLSI datapaths after logic optimization has until now precluded dense regular layouts of optimized datapaths despite their ...
This paper presents a new method to extract functionally equivalent structures from logic netlists. It uses a fast functional regularity extraction algorithm based on structural e...
Commercial tools for standard-cell based datapath design are here classed according to design flows, and the advantages of each class are discussed with the results of two test ci...
Datapath design is one of the most critical elements in the design of a high performance microprocessor. However datapath design is typically done manually, and is often custom st...
Present application specific embedded systems tend to choose instruction set extensions (ISEs) based on limitations imposed by the available data bandwidth to custom functional un...
