1. Presynthesis Optimizations

• HDL input, HDL output

• Optimizations related to:

  • control flow
  • data flow
  • assertions and Don’t Care conditions

• Language translation, subsetting, assertion instrumentation

• Useful in making synthesis results relatively insensitive to HDL coding styles.

• Saves enormous time in optimization and transformation tasks at lower levels of synthesis.
