I need to build a ALU with the following operations:

Transfer
Increment
Addition
Add with Carry
Subtraction
Subtract with borrow
Decrement
OR
XOR
AND
NOT

I've got the Design from the Morris Mano book.But I need to reduce the number of gates to as small as possible.The design in the book uses 28 gates,counting the initial NOT gates.I succeeded in reducing it to 22 gates,but i've heard it has been implemented with lower number of gates.
Can you Help me,please?

Thanks in Advance.
 

can u post the code u used for the design!
 

The code is:

Code:
module alu(a,b,s,cin,f,cout,lc);
	parameter n=2;
	input [n-1:0]a,b;
	input [2:0]s;
	input cin;
	output [n-1:0]f;
	output cout;
	inout lc;
	assign lc=1;
	reg [n:0]c;
	reg [n-1:0]f;
	reg [n-1:0]x,y,z;
	reg cout;
	integer k;	

	always @(a or b or s[2] or s[1] or s[0] or cin)
	begin
		c[0]=cin;
		for (k=0;k<n;k=k+1)
		begin
			x[k]=a[k]|(s[2]&~s[0]&(b[k]^s[1]));
			y[k]=(s[0]&b[k])|(s[1]&(~b[k]));
			z[k]=(~s[2])&c[k];
			f[k]=x[k]^y[k]^z[k];
			c[k+1]=(x[k]&y[k])|(y[k]&z[k])|(z[k]&x[k]);
		end
		cout=c[n]&~s[2];
	end
endmodule


Now I need to decrease the No of gates to lowest possible.If you need,I can post an Image of the circuit.

Thanks
 

Could you plz post the block diagram of the design???
 

Forgive me for my horrible drawing,I had drawn this in a hurry,I just hope you can still recognize it.

The pic is for one of the cascading stages of the ALU.I hope you can help me decrease the number of gates.
