netlist_carpentry.routines.opt.circuit_cleanup ¶

Optimization Methods to remove empty or uninstantiated modules from circuit perspective (top abstraction layer).

Functions:

clean_circuit –

Execute several optimization and cleanup tasks on the circuit, from a top-level POV.
clean_unused –

Removes all modules that are not instantiated anywhere (and thus considered unused) in the given circuit.

clean_circuit ¶

clean_circuit(circuit: Circuit) -> bool

Execute several optimization and cleanup tasks on the circuit, from a top-level POV.

Currently, the only implemented optimization process removes all unused modules from the circuit. As a result, every module not instantiated anywhere in the circuit is removed.

Parameters:

circuit ¶
(Circuit) –

The circuit to optimize.

Returns:

bool ( bool ) –

True if the circuit was modified as a result of the optimization processes, False otherwise.

clean_unused ¶

clean_unused(circuit: Circuit) -> bool

Removes all modules that are not instantiated anywhere (and thus considered unused) in the given circuit.
