Towards One-Pass Synthesis

Mehr zum Buch

The book delves into the evolution of digital circuit design, highlighting the historical division of the process into separate phases like logic synthesis and routing, which has led to inefficiencies and suboptimal results. It introduces the concept of one-pass synthesis, aimed at improving quality by integrating design levels and optimizing for subsequent phases. The text discusses innovative techniques that facilitate this paradigm shift, providing examples to illustrate the effectiveness of combining layout information during synthesis and adjusting optimization strategies for better alignment with target architectures.
