Title
A New Pairwise NPN Boolean Matching Algorithm Based on Structural Difference Signature.
Abstract
In this paper, we address an NPN Boolean matching algorithm. The proposed structural difference signature (SDS) of a Boolean function significantly reduces the search space in the Boolean matching process. The paper analyses the size of the search space from three perspectives: the total number of possible transformations, the number of candidate transformations and the number of decompositions. We test the search space and run time on a large number of randomly generated circuits and Microelectronics Center of North Carolina (MCNC) benchmark circuits with 7-22 inputs. The experimental results show that the search space of Boolean matching is greatly reduced and the matching speed is obviously accelerated.
