Abstract
PHIFACT is a multi-level Boolean optimization program characterized by a controlled time-area trade-off. Its first phase, the Boolean phase, uses Boolean techniques of decomposition and merging to carry out a structural analysis and, in particular, to detect shared circuit parts. Its second phase, the restructuring phase, carries out a systematic exploration of the area-time design space by applying a user controlled sequence of transformations minimizing a parameterized cost function. The obtained results show the feasibility of full Boolean computations and open the way to an important family of new structural analysis techniques.
