Behavioral Level Transformation in the CMU-DA System

Abstract
The Carnegie-Mellon University Design Automation system (CMU-DA) [2] consists of a set of computer programs whose goal is to produce a complete design in a user-specified device technology, given as input a behavioral description of the piece of hardware to be designed and a set of constraints. This paper describes one of the tools in the CMU-DA environment - a software package to perform optimizing transformations at the behavioral level. Motivations for these transformations are given, and an example of their use is shown.
