Abstract
An approach to the decomposition of incompletely specified Boolean functions is introduced, and its application to lookup-table-based field programmable gate array (FPGA) mapping is described. Three methods are developed: fast graph coloring to perform a quasi-optimum 'don't care' assignment; variable partitioning to quickly find the 'best' partitions; and local transformation to transform a nondecomposable function into several decomposable ones. The methods perform global optimization of the input function. A short description of a FPGA mapping program (TRADE) and an evaluation of its results are provided.<>
