Abstract

In this paper, a new information-driven circuit synthesis method is discussed that targets LUT-based FPGAs and FPGA-based reconfigurable system-on-a-chip platforms. The method is based on the bottom-up general functional decomposition and theory of information relationship measures that we previously developed. It differs considerably from all other known methods. The experimental results from the automatic circuit synthesis tool that implements the method clearly demonstrate that the information-driven general functional decomposition based on information relationship measures efficiently produces very fast and compact FPGA circuits.
