Abstract
Technology for translating a behavioral description of a circuit into a structural description of the circuit is disclosed. The behavioral description may describe the circuit in terms of the behavior, or other functionality, of multiple circuit portions, with at least some of the multiple circuit portions having multiple components. The technology includes determining components across the multiple circuit portions of the behavioral description that have commonalities, and synthesizing the structural description with a description of a shared circuit portion instead of individual structural descriptions of the components having the determined commonality. The synthesized structural description may be organized according to a different hierarchical structure than that of the behavioral description.
