Abstract: In one embodiment of the invention, a method of synthesizing physical gates from register transfer logic code for an integrated circuit design is disclosed. The method includes reading a register transfer level (RTL) input file describing an integrated circuit design; parsing and translating the RTL input file into a plurality of Boolean logic equations; translating the plurality of Boolean logic equations into a plurality of logic primitives; placing the plurality of logic primitives into a floorplan of the integrated circuit design, wherein the placement of the plurality of logic primitives defines wire interconnects; and optimizing each of the plurality of Boolean logic equations in response to wire costs and wire timing delays.

Abstract: In optimizing a design of an integrated circuit, an iteration of a logic optimization process is performed that at least partially optimizes a circuit design such that there is slack remaining in one or more combinational logic paths in the circuit design following the iteration. A clock latency scheduling process is performed that respectively distributes the remaining slack of one or more respective combinational logic paths in the circuit design across respective registers in the circuit design. Another iteration of the logic optimization process is performed that uses at least a portion of the distributed slack to further optimize the circuit design.
