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 ...
Abstract. This paper explores using information about program branch probabilities to optimise reconfigurable designs. The basic premise is to promote utilization by dedicating mo...
Conventional technology mapping algorithms for SRAM-based Field Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGAs) are normally carried out on a fixed logic decomposition of a circuit. The impact o...
Intellectual property IP blocks are being created for reuse and marketed as a means of reducing the development time of complex designs. This in turn leads to a reduction in time ...
