In this paper, we study the problem of performance-driven multi-level circuit clustering with application to hierarchical FPGA designs. We first show that the performance-driven m...
- The Cell Matrix Architecture is a massive array of dynamically self-configurable, uniformly connected, identical computational units. This architecture can enable efficient, prac...
