Time-Frame Folding: Back to the Sequentiality

  • Duration: Sep. 2018 – Nov. 2019
  • The research manuscript was accepted and published by the ICCAD 2019.
  • This was my first graduate research project instructed by Prof. Jie-Hong Roland Jiang.
  • Time-frame folding is the reverse operation of time-frame expansion. It constructs a sequential circuit from an k-iterative combinational circuit.
  • The constructed circuit is equivalent to the original circuit within the bounded k time-frames.
  • Empirical evaluation demonstrates its ability in circuit size compaction and suggests potential use in testbench generation and bounded strategy generalization.
