Restructuring of Arithmetic Circuits with Biconditional Binary Decision Diagrams
نویسندگان
چکیده
Biconditional Binary Decision Diagrams (BBDDs) are a novel class of canonical binary decision diagrams where the branching condition, and its associated logic expansion, is biconditional on two variables. In this demonstration, we use an efficient BBDD manipulation package as front-end to a commercial synthesis tool to restructure arithmetic operations in critical components of telecommunication circuits. We show that our apprach meets tight timing constraints otherwise beyond the capabilities of traditional synthesis methods.

Word Level Symbolic Model Checking A New Approach for Verifying Arithmetic Circuits
The highly-publicized division error in the Pentium has emphasized the importance of formal verification of arithmetic operations. Symbolic model checking techniques based on binary decision diagrams (BDDs) have been successful in verifying control logic. However, lack of proper representation for functions that map boolean vectors into integers has prevented this technique from being used for ...
متن کاملVeri cation of Arithmetic Circuits Using Binary MomentDiagrams ?
Binary Moment Diagrams (BMDs) provide a canonical representations for linear functions similar to the way Binary Decision Diagrams (BDDs) represent Boolean functions. Within the class of linear functions, we can embed arbitrary functions from Boolean variables to real, rational, or integer values. BMDs can thus model the functionality of data path circuits operating over word level data. Many i...

Binary Moment Diagrams (BMDs) provide a canonical representations for linear functions similar to the way Binary Decision Diagrams (BDDs) represent Boolean functions. Within the class of linear functions, we can embed arbitary functions from Boolean variables to real, rational, or integer values. BMDs can thus model the functionality of data path circuits operating over word level data. Many im...
متن کاملA Unifying Approach to Edge-valued and Arithmetic Transform Decision Diagrams
This paper shows that binary decision diagrams (BDDs) and their generalizations are not only representations of switching and integer-valued functions, but also Fourier-like series expansions of them. Furthermore, it shows that edge-valued binary decision diagrams (EVBDDs) are related to arithmetic transform decision diagrams (ACDDs), which are the integer counterparts of the functional decisio...
متن کاملEvaluating influence diagrams with decision circuits
Although a number of related algorithms have been developed to evaluate influence diagrams, exploiting the conditional independence in the diagram, the exact solution has remained intractable for many important problems. In this paper we introduce decision circuits as a means to exploit the local structure usually found in decision problems and to improve the performance of influence diagram an...
