In Medio Stat Virtus: Combining Boolean and Pattern Matching

Giovanni De Micheli, Alessandro Tempia Calvino, Gianluca Radi

Technology mapping transforms a technology-independent representation into a technology-dependent one given a library of cells. This process is performed by means of local replacements that are extracted by matching sections of the subject graph to library ...

Additive and geometric transversality of fractal sets in the integers

Florian Karl Richter

By juxtaposing ideas from fractal geometry and dynamical systems, Furstenberg proposed a series of conjectures in the late 1960's that explore the relationship between digit expansions with respect to multiplicatively independent bases. In this work, we in ...

Improving Standard-Cell Design Flow using Factored Form Optimization

Giovanni De Micheli, Alessandro Tempia Calvino

Factored form is a powerful multi-level representation of a Boolean function that readily translates into an implementation of the function in CMOS technology. In particular, the number of literals in a factored form correlates strongly with the number of ...

Formula Normalizations in Verification

Viktor Kuncak, Mario Bucev, Simon Guilloud, Dragana Milovancevic

We propose a new approach for normalization and simplification of logical formulas. Our approach is based on algorithms for lattice-like structures. Specifically, we present two efficient algorithms for computing a normal form and deciding the word problem ...

Equivalence Checking for Orthocomplemented Bisemilattices in Log-Linear Time

Viktor Kuncak, Simon Guilloud

We present a quasilinear time algorithm to decide the word problem on a natural algebraic structures we call orthocomplemented bisemilattices, a subtheory of boolean algebra. We use as a base a variation of Hopcroft, Ullman and Aho algorithm for tree isomo ...

Logic Synthesis From Incomplete Specifications Using Disjoint Support Decomposition

Giovanni De Micheli, Andrea Costamagna

Approximate logic synthesis is an emerging field that tolerates errors in the synthesized logic circuits for better optimization quality. Indeed, in many computing problems, the requirement of preserving the exact functionality either results in unnecessar ...

Logic Resynthesis of Majority-Based Circuits by Top-Down Decomposition

Giovanni De Micheli, Heinz Riener, Siang-Yun Lee

Logic resynthesis is the problem of finding a dependency function to re-express a given Boolean function in terms of a given set of divisor functions. In this paper, we study logic resynthesis of majority-based circuits, which is motivated by the increasin ...

Three-Input Gates for Logic Synthesis

Giovanni De Micheli, Eleonora Testa, Mathias Soeken, Dewmini Sudara Marakkalage, Heinz Riener

Most logic synthesis algorithms work on graph representations of logic functions with nodes associated with arbitrary logic expressions or simple logic functions and iteratively optimize such graphs. While recent multilevel logic synthesis efforts focused ...

Learning from survey propagation: a neural network for MAX-E-3-SAT

Raffaele Marino

Many natural optimization problems are NP-hard, which implies that they are probably hard to solve exactly in the worst-case. However, it suffices to get reasonably good solutions for all (or even most) instances in practice. This paper presents a new algo ...

From Boolean functions to quantum circuits: A scalable quantum compilation flow in C++

Giovanni De Micheli, Giulia Meuli, Bruno Schmitt Antunes, Heinz Riener, Fereshte Mozafari Ghoraba

We propose a flow for automated quantum compila- tion. Our flow takes a Boolean function implemented in Python as input and translates it into a format appropriate for reversible logic synthesis. We focus on two quantum compilation tasks: uniform state pre ...

Enumerating Optimal Quantum Circuits using Spectral Classification

Giovanni De Micheli, Giulia Meuli, Mathias Soeken

This work targets fault-tolerant quantum computing and focuses on the problem of mapping reversible circuits into the Clifford+T quantum gate library. We present an automatically-generated database containing minimal-cost quantum circuits for Boolean funct ...

Advanced Functional Decomposition Using Majority and Its Applications

Giovanni De Micheli, Mathias Soeken, Zhufei Chu

Typical operators for the decomposition of Boolean functions in state-of-the-art algorithms are AND, exclusive-OR (XOR), and the 2-to-1 multiplexer (MUX). We propose a logic decomposition algorithm that uses the majority-of-three (MAJ) operation. Such a de ...

Data Structures and Algorithms for Logic Synthesis in Advanced Technologies

Eleonora Testa

Logic synthesis is a key component of digital design and modern EDA tools; it is thus an essential instrument for the design of leading-edge chips and to push the limits of their performance. In the last decades, the electronic circuits community has evolv ...

When Is Amplification Necessary for Composition in Randomized Query Complexity?

Mika Tapani Göös

Suppose we have randomized decision trees for an outer function f and an inner function g. The natural approach for obtaining a randomized decision tree for the composed function (f∘ gⁿ)(x¹,…,xⁿ) = f(g(x¹),…,g(xⁿ)) involves amplifying the success probabili ...

Automatic Uniform Quantum State Preparation Using Decision Diagrams

Giovanni De Micheli, Mathias Soeken, Heinz Riener, Fereshte Mozafari Ghoraba

Most quantum algorithms assume some specific initial state in superposition of basis states before performing the desired application-specific computations. The preparation of such states itself requires a computation performed by a quantum circuit. In thi ...
