Incremental synthesis

Daniël Brand, Anthony D. Drumm, Sandip Kumar Kundu, Prakash Narain

Abstract

A small change in the input to logic synthesis may cause a large change in the output implementation. This is undesirable if a designer has some investment in the old implementation and does not want it perturbed more than necessary. We describe a method that solves this problem by reusing gates from the old implementation, and restricting synthesis to the modified portions only. 1.
