Can you recommend books on the algorithms used in frontend synthesis? And/or FPGA-specific algorithms?
- UncleOxidant 3y agoLogic Synthesis And Verification Algorithms by Hachtel and Somenzi the copy I have is copyright '96, not sure if it's been updated.
- oldgradstudent 3y agoIt hasn't been updated. The book is considerably out of date, but a lot of the concepts and definitions are still relevant.
- xw3099 3y agoThis deck has a great introduction to mapping and the references at the end are more up to date https://www.eng.biu.ac.il/temanad/files/2018/11/Lecture-4-Synthesis-Part-2.pdf https://www.eng.biu.ac.il/temanad/files/2018/11/Lecture-4-Sy...
- oldgradstudent 3y agoSimilarly out of date. A good starting point for more modern techniques would be something like this: https://people.eecs.berkeley.edu/~alanmi/publications/2006/tcad06_map.pdf https://people.eecs.berkeley.edu/~alanmi/publications/2006/t...
- i_don_t_know 3y agoI came across this survey paper on Combinatorial Optimization in VLSI Design: https://www.or.uni-bonn.de/research/montreal.pdf https://www.or.uni-bonn.de/research/montreal.pdf I don't know how up-to-date the information is. Two of the authors (Korte, Vygen) wrote a textbook on combinatorial optimization. I haven't read it and I don't know enough about the subject to be able to say how useful the contents are to VLSI design. I think they focus more on the theory than the application: https://link.springer.com/book/10.1007/978-3-662-56039-6 https://link.springer.com/book/10.1007/978-3-662-56039-6
