FPGAs, because of their re-programmability, are becoming very popular for creating and exchanging VLSI intellectual properties (IPs) in the reuse-based design paradigm. Existing w...

In the era of deep sub-wavelength lithography for nanometer VLSI designs, manufacturability and yield issues are critical and need to be addressed during the key physical design i...
It is likely that it will become increasingly difficult to manufacture the complex, heterogeneous logic structures that characterise current reconfigurable logic systems. As a res...
As thermal problems become more evident, new physical design paradigms and tools are needed to alleviate them. Incorporating thermal vias into integrated circuits (ICs) is a promi...
We present new timing and congestion driven FPGA placement algorithms with minimal runtime overhead. By predicting the post-routing critical edges and estimating congestion accura...
