My colleagues and I are working on a research paper (to be submitted to MICRO). We have designed a circuit in Verilog that implements the main component of our design. Unfortunately, we don't have the tools (or manpower with access to the tools) to characterize it properly. (Synthesis for FPGA isn't very informative.) It's easy to tell things like levels of logic, because we know exactly what the gates are that we need. But what we can't determine are things like what is the critical path, what is the delay of the critical path, what is the delay in FO4 equivalent, and the exact transistor count when redundancies are optimized out. It's not a big circuit and shouldn't require a lot of time to synthesize. Is there anyone who could possibly help us with this? As for technology, what we really need to know is how this would turn out on a full-custom device. If you can give us the design on 180nm or even larger for that matter, we can convert all the numbers to estimates of what it would be at 32nm. Do any synthesis tools even do full custom synthesis? Or is there too much freedom?
