The demand for high-speed FPGA compilation tools has occurred for three reasons: first, as FPGA device capacity has grown, the computation time devoted to placement and routing h...
We revisit voltage partitioning problem when the mapped voltages of functional units are predetermined. If energy consumption is estimated by formulation E = CV 2 , a published wo...
