The SFRA: a corner-turn FPGA architecture
FPGAs normally operate at whatever clock rate is appropriate for the loaded configuration. When FPGAs are used as computational devices in a larger system, however, it is better ...

FPGAs vs. CPUs: trends in peak floating-point performance
Moore’s Law states that the number of transistors on a device doubles every two years; however, it is often (mis)quoted based on its impact on CPU performance. This important co...

Highly pipelined asynchronous FPGAs
We present the design of a high-performance, highly pipelined asynchronous FPGA. We describe a very fine-grain pipelined logic block and routing interconnect architecture, and sh...
