Improving FPGA Placement With Dynamically Adaptive Stochastic Tunneling

An Algorithm for Dynamically Reconfigurable FPGA Placement

In this paper, we introduce a new placement problem movitated by the Dynamically Reconfigurable FPGA (DRFPGA) architectures. Unlike traditional placement, the problem for DRFPGAs must consider the precedence constraints among logic components. For the placement, we develop an effective metric that can consider wirelength, register requirement, and power consumption simultaneously. With the cons...

Adaptive FPGA Placement by Natural Optimization

Adaptive Algorithm for Routing and Placement in Fpga

The design of the placement and routing for an FPGA (whether it’s a traditional or coarse grained field programmable gate arrays) is very important process, requiring the care about the flexibility with silicon efficiency. With the motivation growing towards embedding FPGAs into SoC (system on chip) designs, final requirements for the FPGA architectures becomes more critical. The identification...

FP3 - A Dynamically Reconfigurable FPGA

Fig. 3 Logic Element (LE) of FP3 including the proposed TCM AbstractThis paper studies issues concerning dynamically reconfigurable FPGA (DRFPGA). It reports the architecture and performance of Flexible Processor III (FP3), a newly proposed DRFPGA. The FP3 employs a new shift register-type temporal interconnect to reduce operation delay. Designed and fabricated in 0.35um 2P3M CMOS technology, F...

Acceleration of FPGA placement

Placement (and routing) of circuits is very computationally intensive. This intensity has motivated several attempts at acceleration of this process for application-specific integrated circuits (ASIC) and Field-programmable gate arrays (FPGA). In this paper an overview of some of these attempts is given. Specifically, parallelization of the standard simulated annealing (SA) algorithm is examine...
