We describe the capabilities of and algorithms used in a new FPGA CAD tool, Versatile Place and Route (VPR). In terms of minimizing routing area, VPR outperforms all published FPG...
Since performance on FPGAs is dominated by the routing architecture rather than wirelength, we propose a new architecture-aware approach to initial FPGA placement that models the ...
