Abstract
A method and computer program are disclosed for optimizing RTL code for an integrated circuit design that include steps of: (a) receiving as input a first register transfer level code for an integrated circuit design; (b) receiving as input a user defined optimum multiplex structure; (c) analyzing the first register transfer level code to identify a critical multiplex structure; (d) partitioning the global multiplex structure into local multiplex structures each identical to the user defined optimum multiplex structure; and (e) generating as output a second register transfer level code for the integrated circuit design that replaces the global multiplex structure with the local multiplex structures.
