A description is given of a process-graph analyzer, i.e. a program that optimizes an algorithmic hardware description while endeavoring to attain maximum speed with the minimum commitment to resources. The analyzer is part of the V-Synth system. The four major subsystems of the analyzer-the decomposer, the optimizer, the control-state generator, and the translator-are discussed. Because both its input and output are in VHDL, VHDL itself is discussed. Preliminary test results for the analyzer are presented.
