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 …

Since their introduction in 1984, Field-Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGAs) have become
one of the most popular implementation media for digital circuits and have grown into a $2 …

Three-Dimensional Integrated Circuit Design, Second Eition, expands the original with more
than twice as much new content, adding the latest developments in circuit models …

Recent dramatic improvements in integrated circuit fabrication technology have led to Field-
Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGAs) capable of implementing entire digital systems, as …

A Boolean-based router expresses the routing constraints as a Bool? ean function which is
satisfiable if and only if the layout is routable. Compared to traditional routers, Boolean …

Motivated by the goal of increasing the performance of FPGA-based designs, we propose e
ective Steiner and arborescence FPGA routing algorithms. Our graphbased Steiner tree …

Field-Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGAs) have adopted and successfully adapted a variety
of ASIC layout techniques. Iterative improvement placers [4], maze-style[191 and channel …

In this paper, we first present a reconfigurable architecture template for low-power digital
signal processing, and then an energy conscious design methodology to bridge the …

In this paper we present and analyze a number of interconnect architectures for
reconfigurable systems targeting applications in the areas of wireless communication and …

This paper presents a performance‐oriented placement and routing tool for field‐
programmable gate arrays. Using recursive geometric partitioning for simultaneous …
