FPGA application developers often attempt to use pipelining, Cslowing and retiming to improve the performance of their designs. Unfortunately, such registered netlists present a f...
In this paper, we present a new linear-time retiming algorithm that produces near-optimal results. Our implementation is specifically targeted at Altera's Stratix [1] FPGAbas...
