We describe the capabilities of and algorithms used in a new FPGA CAD tool, Versatile Place and Route (VPR). In terms of minimizing routing area, VPR outperforms all published FPG...
Modern design requirements have brought additional complexities to netlists and layouts. Millions of components, whitespace resources, and fixed/movable blocks are just a few to ...
The time required to simulate a complete benchmark program using the cycle-accurate model of a microprocessor can be prohibitively high. One of the proposed methodologies, represe...
An essential step in designing a new computer architecture is the careful examination of different design options. It is critical that computer architects have efficient means by ...

Clustered processors lose performance as a result of clusteringinduced stalls. Such stalls are the result of distributed resources and cluster communication delays. Our performanc...
