[comp.lsi.cad] PLA Benchmarks

clawin@gypsy.ims.fhg.de (Detlef Clawin) (07/19/90)

In "Logic Minimization Algorithms for VLSI Synthesis", by R. Brayton ....
dealing with "espresso" several Berkeley PLA benchmarks are referenced, 
e.g. ADD6, ADR4, ALU1. They are commonly referenced by other authors
for benchmarking logic optimization tools.

Does anybody know about a source for this benchmarks ore other
commonly used benchmarks ?

Any hints and remarks will be appreciated .

Some of these (and a number of others) are available by anonymous
ftp from mcnc.mcnc.org.  Look in the directory pub/benchmark/synth89
and its subdirectories.  I believe also that all benchmarks references
in the book you mention are included on the Berkeley software
distribution tapes.
