Abstract

In this paper, we present a heuristic to synthesize a finite state machine as a set of smaller interacting submachines based on FPGA technology. This heuristic partitions inputs as well as outputs. Experimental results show that the sizes of submachines are much smaller than the size of original machine. As a result, the distributed smaller submachines can be operated faster than the original machine because of shorter critical paths.
