Traditional placement algorithms for FPGAs are normally carried out on a fixed clustering solution of a circuit. The impact of clustering on wirelength and delay of the placement s...
Sequential place and route tools for FPGAs are inherently weak at addressing both wirability and timing optimizations. This is primarily due to the difficulty in predicting these ...
Rapid increase in transistor density and operating frequency has led to the increase in power densities, exhibiting itself as a high temperature profile. The high temperature spots...
Current FPGA placement algorithms estimate the routability of a placement using architecture-specific metrics. The shortcoming of using architecture-specific routability estimates ...
FPGA routing resources typically consist of segments of various lengths. Due to the segmented routing architectures, the traditional measure of wiring cost (wirelength, delay, con...
