Abstract:
The present invention provides a simplified process for inference using a generic logic pattern corresponding to one or more generic functions provided by the hardware component. A circuit design is mapped into a plurality of interconnected hardware components, and a subset of the hardware components that matches a logic pattern are identified. Components of the subset are replaced with an inferred hardware component associated with the logic pattern. After matching the pattern, additional components connected to the inferred hardware component are iteratively analyzed to determine whether those additional connected components can be implemented using additional logic of the inferred hardware component.
