Abstract :
This paper presents an efficient performance optimization algorithm, which overcomes the drawbacks of previous approaches and can be used to produce high performance circuits without modifying the topology of the circuit. In contrast with previous approaches, the algorithm selects the minimum number of components to be optimized with vastly improved times while considering the functionality of components exactly at the same time
