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

State assignment for area minimization of sequential circuits based on cuckoo search optimization

TL;DR: Cuckoo search optimization (CSO) algorithm is proposed for solving the state assignment problem (SAP) of FSMs with the aim of minimizing area of the resulting sequential circuit and results indicate that CSO outperforms deterministic methods as well as other non-deterministic heuristic optimization methods.

SPFD-based effective one-to-many rewiring (OMR) for delay reduction of LUT-based FPGA circuits

TL;DR: The experimental results show the OMR can transform FPGA circuits more flexibly than the LR, GR and ER, by introducing the new manipulation, wire addition, and the computation time is as short as the existing methods.

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.
