Abstract
The problem of minimizing interconnection complexity in behavioral level synthesis is considered. In particular, it is assumed that logical connection requirements have already been determined, with a corresponding level of multiplexing implied. The total amount of multiplexing is further reduced by combining connections onto shared path segments, when possible. Using the number of equivalent 2*1 multiplexers as the measure of interconnection complexity, the optimum solution to this problem can be guaranteed. The solution technique uses integer linear programming, preceded by a process that reduces the problem space without compromising optimality. It is shown how to minimize the total number of tristate buffers in a bus implementation. >
