• Open Logic Synthesis Libraries and Benchmarks

  The Integrated Systems Laboratory (LSI) at EPFL develops a collection of open software libraries and benchmarks to keep up the driving force in improving optimization algorithms in the field of logic synthesis. The developed open science infrastructure can be used to tackle complex research problems.

  The Open Logic Synthesis Libraries and Benchmarks project focuses on building up an active open source community in the field of logic synthesis beyond EPPL with an emphasis on open reproducible and comparable experimental results through open software and benchmarks. The objectives are (1) to extend the community around the EPFL Logic Synthesis Libraries and EPFL Logic Synthesis Benchmarks beyond EPFL, (2) to support researchers from academia and industry to contribute and use the developed software infrastructure, and (3) to work out an open development methodology that shares the experiences and best practices gathered at EPFL in developing open libraries and benchmarks for logic synthesis. We believe that this project enables high quality research and improves research efficiency and collaboration in logic synthesis and beyond.

  Start: July, 2019 (1.5 years)

  Role: Principal Investigator (Co-PI in cooperation with Prof. Giovanni De Micheli, EPFL, Switzerland)
