In designing FPGAs, it is important to achieve a good balance between the number of logic blocks, such as Look-Up Tables (LUTs), and wiring resources. It is dicult to nd an optim...
This paper presents a new technology mapper, WireMap. The mapper uses an edge flow heuristic to improve the routability of a mapped design. The heuristic is applied during the ite...

—Many modern Field Programmable Logic Arrays (FPGAs) use lookup table (LUT) logic blocks which can be programmed to realize any function of a fixed number of inputs. It is possib...
—The very high levels of integration and submicron device sizes used in current and emerging VLSI technologies for FPGAs lead to higher occurrences of defects and operational fau...
As the level of chip integration continues to advance at a fast pace, the desire for efficient interconnects-whether on-chip or off-chip--is rapidly increasing. Traditional interc...
