Run-Time-Conscious Automatic Timing-Driven FPGA Layout Synthesis

Automated FPGA Design, Verification and Layout

Automated FPGA Design, Verification and Layout Ian Carlos Kuon Master of Applied Science Graduate Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering University of Toronto 2004 The design and layout of Field-Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGAs) is a timeconsuming process that is currently performed manually. This work investigates two issues faced when automating this task. First, an accurate compari...

Layout Driven Logic Synthesis and Optimization techniques for FPGA

It’s All About Timing: From Precision RTL Synthesis to Quartus II Software

For today’s advanced FPGAs, accurate timing constraints are important to obtain optimal synthesis and place-and-route results, and play a critical role during timing analysis and verification. The Precision RTL Synthesis timing-driven synthesis engine supports detailed timing constraints such as clock characteristics and timing exceptions. The TimeQuest timing analyzer in the Altera Quartus II ...

Guaranteeing Silicon Performance with FPGA Timing Models

Intel® timing models provide a simple and easy way to verify the timing of FPGA designs without the need to perform full physical electrical extractions and simulations. The three different operating corners available for 65 nm and newer FPGAs provide a thorough coverage of the time delays within the recommended operating conditions. Introduction How can a designer accurately predict the time d...

Automatic Generation of a Multi Agent System for Crisis Management by a Model Driven Approach

Considering the increasing occurrences of unexpected events and the need for pre-crisis planning in order to reduce risks and losses, modeling instant response environments is needed more than ever. Modeling may lead to more careful planning for crisis-response operations, such as team formation, task assignment, and doing the task by teams. A common challenge in this way is that the model shou...
