Abstract

A program called MVSIS has been developed which optimizesmulti-level multi-valued networks (MV networks).We describe what such a network is and the capabilitiescontained in MVSIS. MVSIS is modeled after SIS, whichsynthesizes binary multi-level networks, but the logic networkof MVSIS is such that all variables can be multi-valuedeach with its own range. Included in MVSIS arealmost all the technology-independent transformations ofSIS for combinational and sequential logic synthesis aswell as transformations specific to multi-valued nodes suchas merge, pair decode, encode. MVSIS can readand write BLIF-MV and BLIF files which describe MV-networksand binary networks respectively.
