Abstract
The paper describes some of the synthesis controls in the BooleDozer synthesis system which are unique in concept and implementation. Rather than attempting to achieve the maximum amount of optimization in the minimum amount of run time, the designer specifies the restructuring level which allows him to specify to what extent the original structure should be preserved. We also describe controls which affect the mapping process. Finally we describe the incremental synthesis feature. The run time can be accurately controlled by a run-time budgeting mechanism
