Abstract
HAMLET is a CAD tool that translates a user specification of a multiple-valued expression into a layout of a multiple-valued programmable logic array (MVL-PLA) which realizes that expression. It is modular to accommodate future minimization heuristics and future MVL-PLA technologies. At present, it implements two heuristics, [2] and [8] and one MVL-PLA technology, current-mode CMOS [6]. Specifically, HAMLET accepts a sum-of-products expression from the user, applies a minimization heuristic, and then produces a PLA layout of a multiple-valued current-mode CMOS PLA. Besides its design capabilities, HAMLET can also analyze heuristics. Random functions can be generated, heuristics applied, and statistics computed on the results. User-derived expressions can also be analyzed. In addition to the minimlization heuristics [2] and [8], HAMLET can apply search strategies based on these heuristics, which, in the extreme, is exhaustive, producing true minimal forms. HAMLET is available to the public; instructions on how to obtain this program are in Appendix A. It is written in C and conforms to the UNIX command line format.

    The minimization of multiple valued logic expressions using parallel processors 

    Oral, Sabri Onur (Monterey, California. Naval Postgraduate School, 1991-09);
    The process of finding an exact minimization for a multiple-valued logic (MVL) expression requires an extensive search and enormous computation time. One of the heuristics to reduce this computation time is the Neighborhood ...

    A neighborhood decoupling algorithm for truncated sum minimization 

    Yang, Chyan; Wang, Yao-Ming (IEEE, 2002-08-06);
    There has been considerable interest in heuristic method for minimizing multiple-valued logic functions because exact methods are intractable. This paper describes a new heuristic, called the neighborhood decoupling (ND) ...
