• Review of current decomposition methods– Algebraic – Boolean

• Theory of BDD decomposition [C. Yang 1999]

– Bi-decomposition F = D Q– Boolean AND/OR Decomposition– Boolean XOR Decomposition– MUX Decomposition

• Logic optimization based on BDD decomposition


Functional Decomposition – previous workFunctional Decomposition – previous work

• Ashenhurst [1959], Curtis [1962]– Tabular method based on cut: bound/free variables– BDD implementation:

• Lai et al. [1993, 1996], Chang et al. [1996]

• Stanion et al. [1995]

• Roth, Karp [1962]– Similar to Ashenhurst, but using cubes, covers

– Also used by SIS

• Factorization based– SIS, algebraic factorization using cube notation

– Bertacco et al. [1997], BDD-based recursive bidecomp.


Drawbacks of Traditional Synthesis MethodsDrawbacks of Traditional Synthesis Methods

• Weak Boolean factorization capability.• Difficult to identify XOR and MUX decomposition.• Separate platforms for Boolean operations and

factorization.

• Our goal: use a common platform to carry out both Boolean operations and factorization: BDD’s


What is wrong with Algebraic Division?What is wrong with Algebraic Division?

• Divisor and quotient are orthogonal!!• Better factored form might be:

(q1+ q2+ …+qn) (d1+d2+…+dm)

– gi and dj may share same or opposite literals

• Example:

SOP form: F = abg + acg + adf + aef + afg + bd + ce + be + cd. (23 lits)

Algebraic: F = (b + c)(d + e + ag) + (d + e +g)af. (11 lits)

Boolean: F = (af + b + c)(ag + d + e). (8 lits)

Bi-decomposition based on DominatorsBi-decomposition based on Dominators

• We can generalize the concept of algebraic decomposition and dominators to:• Generalized dominators• Boolean bi-decompositions (AND, OR, XOR)

• Bi-decomposition: F = D Q

• First, let’s review fundamental theorems for Boolean division and factoring.


Boolean DivisionBoolean Division

Definitions

• G is a Boolean divisor of F if there exist H and R such that F = G H + R, and G H 0.

• G is said to be a factor of F if, in addition, R=0, that is:F = G H.

where H is the quotient, R is the remainder.Note: H and R may not be unique.


Boolean Factor - Boolean Factor - TheoremTheorem

Theorem:

Boolean function G is a Boolean factor of Boolean function F iff F G , (i.e. FG’ = 0, or G’ F’).

FF

GGProof:: G is a Boolean factor of F. Then H s.t. F = GH;

Hence, F G (as well as F H).

: F G F = GF = G(F + R) = GH. (Here R is any function R G’.)

Notes:

- Given F and G, H is not unique. - To get a small H is the same as getting a small F + R.

Since RG = 0, this is the same as minimizing (simplifying) f with DC = G’.


Boolean Division - Boolean Division - TheoremTheorem

Theorem: G is a Boolean divisor of F if and only if F G 0.

GGFF

Proof:

: F = GH + R, GH 0 FG = GH + GR. Since GH 0, FG 0.

: Assume that FG 0. F = FG + FG’ = G(F + K) + FG’. (Here K G’.)

Then F = GH + R, with H = F + K, R = FG’. Since GH = FG 0, then GH 0.

Note:

f has many divisors. We are looking for a g such that f = gh + r, where g, h, r are simple functions. (simplify f with DC = g’)

Conjunctive (AND) DecompositionConjunctive (AND) Decomposition

• Conjunctive (AND) decomposition: F = D Q.

• Theorem:

Boolean function F has conjunctive decomposition iff F D. For a given choice of D, the quotient Q must satisfy: F Q F + D’.

• Disjunctive (OR) decomposition: F = G + H.

• Theorem:

Boolean function F has disjunctive decomposition iff F G. For a given choice of G, the term H must satisfy: F’ H’ F’ + G.

ConclusionsConclusions

• BDD-based bi-decomposition is a good alternative to traditional, algebraic logic optimization– Produces Boolean decomposition– Several types: AND, OR, XOR, MUX

• BDD decomposition-based logic optimization is fast.

• Stand-alone BDD decomposition scheme is not amenable to large circuits– Global BDD too large– Must partition into network of BDDs (local BDDs)
