The papers presented in this book cover the whole spectrum from high-level synthesis to technology mapping, including an overview of fifty years of logic synthesis and asking whether high-level synthesis is practical at all. The reader will undoubtedly be left with the impression that though the field of synthesis has made considerable progress in the last few years, there are still many problems to be dealt with.

This book describes the synthesis of logic functions using memories. It is useful to design field programmable gate arrays (FPGAs) that contain both small-scale memories, called look-up tables (LUTs), and medium-scale memories, called embedded memories. This is a valuable reference for both FPGA system designers and CAD tool developers, concerned with logic synthesis for FPGAs.

This volume contains the proceedings of the 4th International Workshop on Field-Programmable Logic and Applications (FPL '94), held in Prague, Czech Republic in September 1994. The growing importance of field-programmable devices is substantiated by the remarkably high number of 116 submissions for FPL '94; from them, the revised versions of 40 full papers and 24 high-quality poster presentations were accepted for inclusion in this volume. Among the topics treated are: testing, layout, synthesis tools, compilation research and CAD, trade-offs and experience, innovations and smart applications, FPGA-based computer architectures, high-level design, prototyping and ASIC emulators, commercial devices, new tools, CCMs and HW/SW co-design, modelers, educational experience, and novel architectures.

Short turnaround has become critical in the design of electronic systems. Software- programmable components such as microprocessors and digital signal processors have been used extensively in such systems since they allow rapid design revisions. However, the inherent performance limitations of software-programmable systems mean that they are inadequate for high-performance designs. Designers thus turned to gate arrays as a solution. User-programmable gate arrays (field-programmable gate arrays, FPGAs) have recently emerged and are changing the way electronic systems are designed and implemented. The growing complexity of the logic circuits that can be packed onto an FPGA chip means that it has become important to have automatic synthesis tools that implement logic functions on these architectures. Logic Synthesis for Field-Programmable Gate Arrays describes logic synthesis for both look-up table (LUT) and multiplexor-based architectures, with a balanced presentation of existing techniques together with algorithms and the system developed by the authors. Audience: A useful reference for VLSI designers, developers of computer-aided design tools, and anyone involved in or with FPGAs.

VLSI synthesis is a subject that is moving rapidly from the research laboratory into the industrial environment, and it is generally accepted that synthesis will gradually become the dominant design technique, surpassing conventional manual techniques. This book provides a timely overview on the various systems for logical and architectural synthesis for VLSI. It discusses the algorithms and techniques necessary for a synthesis system that is competitive with current design techniques for integrated circuits. The book covers both low-level logic synthesis techniques and higher-level architectural techniques, both of which are increasing in practical importance, since they will form the basis of the next generation of CAD software for integrated circuits. Three main topics are addressed: The first concerns two-level and multi-level synthesis. It includes PLA and PAL implementation as well as standard cell and compiled cell based synthesis. The second concerns controller synthesis with emphasis on optimisation methods. The third deals with high level synthesis (resource allocation, scheduling) as applied to DSP systems and processors consisting of controllers and data paths.

Logic Synthesis and Verification Algorithms is a textbook designed for courses on VLSI Logic Synthesis and Verification, Design Automation, CAD and advanced level discrete mathematics. It also serves as a basic reference work in design automation for both professionals and students. Logic Synthesis and Verification Algorithms is about the theoretical underpinnings of VLSI (Very Large Scale Integrated Circuits). It combines and integrates modern developments in logic synthesis and formal verification with the more traditional matter of Switching and Finite Automata Theory. The book also provides background material on Boolean algebra and discrete mathematics. A unique feature of this text is the large collection of solved problems. Throughout the text the algorithms covered are the subject of one or more problems based on the use of available synthesis programs.

Logic synthesis has become a fundamental component of the ASIC design flow, and Logic Synthesis Using Synopsys® has been written for all those who dislike reading manuals but who still like to learn logic synthesis as practised in the real world. The primary focus of the book is Synopsys Design Compiler®: the leading synthesis tool in the EDA marketplace. The book is specially organized to assist designers accustomed to schematic capture based design to develop the required expertise to effectively use the Compiler. Over 100 `classic scenarios' faced by designers using the Design Compiler have been captured and discussed, and solutions provided. The scenarios are based both on personal experiences and actual user queries. A general understanding of the problem-solving techniques provided will help the reader debug similar and more complicated problems. Furthermore, several examples and dc-shell scripts are provided. Specifically, Logic Synthesis Using Synopsys® will help the reader develop a better understanding of the synthesis design flow, optimization strategies using the Design Compiler, test insertion using the Test Compiler®, commonly used interface formats such as EDIF and SDF, and design re-use in a synthesis-based design methodology. Examples have been provided in both VHDL and Verilog. Audience: Written with CAD engineers in mind to enable them to formulate an effective synthesis-based ASIC design methodology. Will also assist design teams to better incorporate and effectively integrate synthesis with their existing in-house design methodology and CAD tools.

This book is structured in a practical, example-driven, manner. The use of VHDL for constructing logic synthesisers is one of the aims of the book; the second is the application of the tools to the design process. Worked examples, questions and answers are provided together with do and don'ts of good practice. An appendix on logic design the source code are available free of charge over the Internet.
