Abstract:

Recently, a new processor, called Boolean Analyzer BA, has been proposed by A. Svoboda. This unit operating as a part of an automatic computer is based on the idea of processing many terms of Boolean Algebra in parallel. One of its operational capabilities is the solution of large systems of Boolean equations in a reasonable time if we compare it to standard procedures. In order to promote the use of the Boolean Analyzer in its two modes of operation we developed some applications to logic problems. In this report we propose to show how the Boolean Analyzer should be integrated with a general purpose computer or with a variable structure computer to solve efficiently 1 the Three-level AND-NOT synthesis problem of logic networks using only True inputs Synthesis of TANT networks, and 2 the general problem of synthesis of logic networks using a restricted inventory of integrated circuit modules. Our task includes reformulation of those problems into Boolean equations to prove their solubility by a Boolean Analyzer integrated with another system. Author
