Optimization methods for lookup-table-based FPGAs using Transduction Method

Abstract

In recent years Field Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGAs) have emerged as an attractive means to implement low volume applications and prototypes due to their low cost, reprogrammability and rapid turnaround times. Therefore, the need for design methods of FPGAs are getting larger and larger. In this paper, two methods to optimize networks which have been mapped for lookup-table-based FPGAs are discussed. These methods utilize the notion of compatible sets of permissible functions (CSPFs) of Transduction Method. Experimental results show the effectiveness of our methods.
