Overview

A system for synthesizing a circuit from an LSI behavior specification.

Near-optimum circuit is designed from an LSI behavior specification, which is composed of the algorithm described in the Pascal language and LSI constraints.
The register-transfer level circuit ganerated by RODIN is decribed in the standard hardware description language used in various logical circuit synthesis tools.
Near-optimum circuit is synthesized in short time by using the parallel rule-based annealing method in the optimization phase which generally consumes much time.
Parallel rule-based annealing method is based on the simulated annealing method. It offers speed-up by using the heuristic knowledge and parallel processing by Multi-PSI.
