The roots of the project which culminates with the writing of this
book can be traced to the work on logic synthesis started in 1979
at the IBM Watson Research Center and at University of California,
Berkeley. During the preliminary phases of these projects, the
impor tance of logic minimization for the synthesis of area and
performance effective circuits clearly emerged. In 1980, Richard
Newton stirred our interest by pointing out new heuristic
algorithms for two-level logic minimization and the potential for
improving upon existing approaches. In the summer of 1981, the
authors organized and participated in a seminar on logic
manipulation at IBM Research. One of the goals of the seminar was
to study the literature on logic minimization and to look at
heuristic algorithms from a fundamental and comparative point of
view. The fruits of this investigation were surprisingly abundant:
it was apparent from an initial implementation of recursive logic
minimiza tion (ESPRESSO-I) that, if we merged our new results into
a two-level minimization program, an important step forward in
automatic logic synthesis could result. ESPRESSO-II was born and an
APL implemen tation was created in the summer of 1982. The results
of preliminary tests on a fairly large set of industrial examples
were good enough to justify the publication of our algorithms. It
is hoped that the strength and speed of our minimizer warrant its
Italian name, which denotes both express delivery and a
specially-brewed black coffee."
