Loop optimization in a circuit design netlist

Abstract:

Disclosed approaches for optimizing netlist loops include associating loop optimization methods with loop patterns in a computer memory. A circuit design can be synthesized into a netlist, and netlist loops that conform to the loop patterns can be identified. For each matching netlist loop, a loop optimization method associated with the loop pattern to which the netlist loop conforms can be selected. For each netlist loop, the loop optimization method associated with the loop pattern to which the netlist loop conforms can be performed to modify logic of the netlist loop in the netlist.
