Abstract
Retiming is a powerful sequential circuit optimization technique for improving the performance of sequential circuits. The concept of retiming is the notion of moving storage devices across memoryless computational elements to improve the performance without changing the input-output latency. Although retiming can operate on gate level netlists, or on higher-level abstractions such as data flow graphs, communication graphs, and processor schedules, our treatment will focus on circuit-level optimizations.
