Abstract :
A combinatorial logic optimization is described. The optimization is (in some sense) a dual of earlier global flow optimizations. The optimization leaves the function carried by each signal in the circuit unchanged and thus avoids expensive recomputation of don´t care information. The results of experiments performed to evaluate this optimization are also described
