TOPIC AREA:  SYNTHESIS AND FPGA


   SESSION 54
  Logic and Sequential Synthesis
  Chair: Maciej Ciesielski - Univ. of Massachusetts, Amherst, MA
  Organizers: Adam Donlin, Jean Christophe Madre, Malgorzata Marek-Sadowska

  Papers in this section address a broad spectrum of topics in logic synthesis. The first paper incorporates logic synthesis into the design flow of large asynchronous control circuits obtained from high-level specifications. The next three papers address various aspects of clock period optimization. The last paper proposes an approach to gate sizing for binning yield optimization.
