Preserving Self-Duality During Logic Synthesis for Emerging Reconfigurable Nanotechnologies

Giovanni De Micheli, Heinz Riener, Akash Kumar

Emerging reconfigurable nanotechnologies allow the implementation of self-dual functions with a fewer number of transistors as compared to traditional CMOS technologies. To achieve better area results for Reconfigurable Field-Effect Transistors (RFET)-base ...

Three-Input Gates for Logic Synthesis

Giovanni De Micheli, Mathias Soeken, Heinz Riener, Eleonora Testa, Dewmini Sudara Marakkalage

Most logic synthesis algorithms work on graph representations of logic functions with nodes associated with arbitrary logic expressions or simple logic functions and iteratively optimize such graphs. While recent multilevel logic synthesis efforts focused ...

Advanced Functional Decomposition Using Majority and Its Applications

Giovanni De Micheli, Mathias Soeken

Typical operators for the decomposition of Boolean functions in state-of-the-art algorithms are AND, exclusive-OR (XOR), and the 2-to-1 multiplexer (MUX). We propose a logic decomposition algorithm that uses the majority-of-three (MAJ) operation. Such a de ...

Unique decomposition of homogeneous languages and application to isothetic regions

Nicolas René Jean Ninin

A language is said to be homogeneous when all its words have the same length. Homogeneous languages thus form a monoid under concatenation. It becomes freely commutative under the simultaneous actions of every permutation group G(n) on the collection of ho ...

Exact Synthesis of Majority-Inverter Graphs and Its Applications

Giovanni De Micheli, Pierre-Emmanuel Julien Marc Gaillardon, Mathias Soeken, Luca Gaetano Amarù

We propose effective algorithms for exact synthesis of Boolean logic networks using satisfiability modulo theories (SMT) solvers. Since exact synthesis is a difficult problem, it can only be applied efficiently to very small functions, having up to 6 varia ...

A Novel Basis for Logic Rewriting

Giovanni De Micheli, Pierre-Emmanuel Julien Marc Gaillardon, Mathias Soeken, Luca Gaetano Amarù, Winston Jason Haaswijk

Given a set of logic primitives and a Boolean function, exact synthesis finds the optimum representation (e.g., depth or size) of the function in terms of the primitives. Due to its high computational complexity, the use of exact synthesis is limite ...

Exterior Convexity And Classical Calculus Of Variations

Saugata Bandyopadhyay, Swarnendu Sil

We study the relation between various notions of exterior convexity introduced in [S. Bandyopadhyay, B. Dacorogna and S. Sil, J. Eur. Math. Soc. 17 (2015) 1009-1039.] with the classical notions of rank one convexity, quasiconvexity and polyconvexity. To th ...
