Abstract
SIS is an interactive tool for synthesis and optimization of sequential circuits Given a state transition table, a signal transition graph, or a logic-level description of a sequential circuit, it produces an optimized net-list in the target technology while preserving the sequential input-output behavior Many different programs and algorithms have been integrated into SIS, allowing the user to choose among a variety of techniques at each stage of the process It is built on top of MISII [5] and includes all (combinational) optimization techniques therein as well as many enhancements SIS serves as both a framework within which various algorithms can be tested and compared, and as a tool for automatic synthesis and optimization of sequential circuits This paper provides an overview of SIS The first part contains descriptions of the input specification, STG (state transition graph) manipulation, new logic optimization and verification algorithms, ASTG (asynchronous signal transition graph) manipulation, and synthesis for PGA’s (programmable gate arrays) The second part contains a tutorial example illustrating the design process using SIS

Average-case technology mapping of asynchronous burst-mode circuits

TL;DR: A technology mapper that optimizes the average performance of asynchronous burst-mode control circuits and has significantly lower average latency and cycle time than comparable circuits mapped with a leading conventional mapping technique which minimizes the worst case delay.

Inferno: Streamlining Verification With Inferred Semantics

TL;DR: Inferno is presented, a novel solution capable of automatically extracting semantic information from a design's interface from simulation information, and a new closed-loop verification methodology based on Inferno, called transactional verification, which leverages approved transactions to describe correct design behavior.

Research on a Dynamic Virus Propagation Model to Improve Smart Campus Security

TL;DR: A differential model of virus propagation is established for a smart campus network by considering the differences among individuals, and a method to extend the individual evolution process to the evolution process of the entire network is proposed.

Graph-Based Algorithms for Boolean Function Manipulation

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present a data structure for representing Boolean functions and an associated set of manipulation algorithms, which have time complexity proportional to the sizes of the graphs being operated on, and hence are quite efficient as long as the graphs do not grow too large.

Synthesis of self-timed vlsi circuits from graph-theoretic specifications

T. Chu
TL;DR: This thesis presents an approach for direct and efficient synthesis of self-timed (asynchronous) control circuits from formal specifications called Signal Transition Graphs (STGs), and develops a number of analytical results which establish the equivalence between the static structure of nets and their underlying firing sequence semantics.
