A fundamental difference between ASICs and FPGAs is that wires in ASICs are designed such that it matches the requirements of a particular design. Wire parameters such as: length...
We consider active leakage power dissipation in FPGAs and present a “no cost” approach for active leakage reduction. It is well-known that the leakage power consumed by a digi...
Abstract—Negative bias temperature instability (NBTI) significantly affects nanoscale integrated circuit performance and reliability. The degradation in threshold voltage (Vth) d...
Multi-ported memories are challenging to implement with FPGAs since the provided block RAMs typically have only two ports. We present a thorough exploration of the design space of...
Reconfigurable Architectures are good candidates for application accelerators that cannot be set in stone at production time. FPGAs however, often suffer from the area and perfor...
