Timing-driven Approximate Logic Synthesis Based on Cooperative Search
This paper develops two LAC search actions specialized in critical path shortening and area reduction, respectively, and shows that compared to a state-of-the-art area-driven method, this framework further reduces 20% critical path delay with comparable area savings, while being 7.9× faster.
