Placement and routing are the most time-consuming processes in automatically synthesizing and configuring circuits for field-programmable gate arrays (FPGAs). In this paper, we ...
Thermal problems and limitations on interlayer via densities are important design constraints on three-dimensional integrated circuits (3D ICs), and need to be considered during g...
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...
ABSTRACT - This paper presents a new design flow, FPDSiMPA, and a set of techniques for synthesizing high-performance sub-half micron logic circuits. FPD-SiMPA consists of logic p...
Grid-warping is a recent placement strategy based on a novel physical analogy: rather than move the gates to optimize their location, it elastically deforms a model of the 2-D chi...
