Optimization of heuristic logic synthesis by iteratively reducing circuit substructures using a database of optimal implementations

Anh Phong Tran, Dhruv D. Jatkar, M. Ali Al-Radhawi…·Eduardo D. Sontag

This paper improves heuristic logic synthesis by using a database of optimal 4-input Boolean implementations to reduce gate count in larger circuits, achieving average improvements of 5.16% and 4.54% for 5- and 6-input circuits respectively.
