A quaternary decision diagram machine: Optimization of its code
IEICE2010_sasao.pdf (649.3Kb)Abstract
This paper first reviews the trends of VLSI design, focusing on the power dissipation and programmability. Then, we show the advantage of Quarternary Decision Diagrams (QDDs) in representing and evaluating logic functions. That is, we show how QDDs are used to implement QDD machines, which yield high-speed implementations. We compare QDD machines with binary decision diagram (BDD) machines, and show a speed imrpovement of 1.28-2.02 times when QDDs are chosen. We consider 1- and 1-address BDD machines, and 3- and 4- address QDD machines, and we show a method to minimize the number of instructions.

Polynomial transfer lot sizing techniques for batch processing on consecutive machines
(Monterey, California. Naval Postgraduate School, 1989-09); NPS-54-89-011Using transfer lots, we can overlap the processing of a batch on several consecutive machines, and thus reduce the makespan considerably. This in turn promotes work-in-process reduction. In this paper we investigate the ... -
