Wire retiming as fixpoint computation.

Wire retiming as fixpoint computation.

In system-on-chips (SOCs), a nonnegligible part of operation time is spent on global wires with long delays. Retiming-that is moving flip-flops in a circuit without changing its functionality-can be explored to pipeline long interconnect wires in SOC designs. The problem of retiming over a netlist o...
