Minimizing the number of product terms in a PLA implementation is a large step
towards saving area on a VLSI chip using PLA logic. Due to the large amounts of computer
time necessary to achieve this minimization, a number of heuristic approaches have
been developed to provide near-optimal solutions in...
Digital signal and image processing and other real time
applications involve simple but large amounts of
computations. These problems have an enormous amount of
inherent parallelism and demand high speed computation.
Conventional computers do not possess these characteristics
and this had led to the development of new architectural
concepts. Among...
