Dec 22, 2015 at 21:19 comment added AProgrammer My point being that EDA optimization starts with such boolean optimization and then maps boolean formula to gates (taking into account things other than just an abstract minimal expression like available gates in the library, timing constraints, physical position, ...). I doubt very much that the field has not progressed since 25 years ago and I'd be surprised that all progress was in taking the other factors into account.
Dec 22, 2015 at 21:03 comment added AProgrammer Did you look in EDA related publications (proceedings of conferences like DAC, IEEE publications)? I know there has been work with BDD as well.
Dec 22, 2015 at 20:43 comment added Alan Wolfe I can't find any more advanced algorithms on my own. Espresso and Espresso-exact (mincov) seem to be all I can find. Apparently espresso-exact uses a "tiling" algorithm, and the tiling problem is NP-Complete, so maybe espresso-exact (mincov) is the best algorithm known so far still? The info was useful, thanks for sharing (:
Dec 21, 2015 at 12:59 comment added AProgrammer 25 years ago, I'd have suggested you to search for papers from IBM/ Berkeley about "Espresso". I can just guess that there are better things nowadays.
