Advanced Functional Decomposition Using Majority and Its Applications

Giovanni De Micheli, Mathias Soeken, Zhufei Chu

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 ...

Exact Synthesis of Boolean Functions in Majority-of-five Forms

Giovanni De Micheli, Mathias Soeken, Winston Jason Haaswijk, Zhufei Chu

Recent studies show that majority-based logic synthesis is beneficial for both traditional and nanotechnology digital designs. However, most of the existing synthesis algorithms for majority logic generate majority-of-three (M-3) networks. The optimization ...

Structural Rewriting in XOR-Majority Graphs

Giovanni De Micheli, Mathias Soeken, Zhufei Chu

In this paper, we present a structural rewriting method for a recently proposed XOR-Majority graph (XMG), which has exclusive-OR (XOR), majority-of-three (MAJ), and inverters as primitives. XMGs are an extension of Majority-Inverter Graphs (MIGs). Previous ...

Improving Circuit Mapping Performance Through MIG-based Synthesis for Carry Chains

Giovanni De Micheli, Paolo Ienne, Mathias Soeken, Grace Zgheib, Xifan Tang, Pierre-Emmanuel Julien Marc Gaillardon, Ana Petkovska, Luca Gaetano Amarù, Zhufei Chu

Hard-wired carry chains in FPGAs are designed to improve efficiency of important arithmetic primitives. Although they are proven to be effective for arithmetic-rich functions, there are very few studies on the optimization opportunities of carry chains for ...
