Given a set of placed blocks, we present an algorithm that minimally spaces the blocks to ensure routability under several assumptions. By performing a binary search on total widt...
Abstract. The configuration of network resources greatly impacts the communication overhead for data intensive tasks and constitutes a critical problem in the design and maintenan...
—When manufacturing nano-devices, defects are a certainty and reliability becomes a critical issue. Until now, the most pervasive methods used to address reliability, involve inj...
Code placement techniques have traditionally improved instruction fetch bandwidth by increasing instruction locality and decreasing the number of taken branches. However, traditio...
To truly exploit FPGAs for rapid turn-around development and prototyping, placement times must be reduced to seconds; latebound, reconfigurable computing applications may demand p...
