Visual Software - LOTUS

A System for Synthesis of Regular Layout


Abstract

The input of LOTUS is a multi-output combinational logic function with don’t-cares. The output is the regular layout in the form of a Shannon Lattice [1], Reed-Muller Lattice [2], or Linearly-Independent Lattice [3]. The user can choose among a variety of lattice types described in the literature and in our forthcoming publications.
