| Talk Title: | FBDD: Towards Scalable Synthesis |
| Slides: | 8-1.ppt |
| Abstract: | As circuits grow exponentially with each generation, the scalability of CAD algorithms is a growing concern. In this talk, we look at a recently reported BDD based synthesis engine, FBDD, which is an order of magnitude faster than SIS with comparable area results. When compared with ABC, we are comparable both in runtime and quality of result. |
