The demand for high-speed FPGA compilation tools has occurred for three reasons: first, as FPGA device capacity has grown, the computation time devoted to placement and routing h...
In this paper, we investigate the speed and area-efficiency of FPGAs employing “logic clusters” containing multiple LUTs and registers as their logic block. We introduce a ne...
The Embedded System Block (ESB) of the APEX20K programmable logic device family from Altera Corporation includes the capability of implementing product term macrocells in addition...
Pipelining of data path structures increases the throughput rate at the expense of enlarged resource usage and latency unless architectures optimized towards specific applications...
In this work we investigate the routing architecture of FPGAs, focusing primarily on determining the best distribution of routing segment lengths and the best mix of pass transist...
