Cell placement is an important phase of current VLSI circuit design styles such as standard cell, gate array, and Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA). Although nondeterministic algorithms such as Simulated Annealing (SA) were successful in solving this problem, they are known to be slow. In this paper, a neural network algorithm is proposed that produces solutions as good as SA in substantiall...

Partial reconfiguration allows for mapping and executing several tasks on an FPGA during runtime. Multitasking on FPGAs rises a number of questions on the management of the reconfigurable resource, which leads to concepts of reconfigurable operating systems. This paper focuses on a major aspect of a reconfigurable operating system: task placement and transformation. We first discuss task charac...

The internet of things (IoT) describes the network physical objects equipped with sensors and other technologies to exchange data devices over Internet. Due its inherent flexibility, field-programmable gate array (FPGA) has become a viable platform for IoT development. However, various security threats such as FPGA bitstream cloning intellectual property (IP) piracy have major concern this devi...

With an exponential rise in logic density and performance, FPGAs are becoming essential components in various electronic systems. However, increased logic density and more importantly programmability of FPGAs cause increased power dissipation, which limits deployment of FPGAs in power constrained consumer electronic products such as mobile systems. Voltage scaling is a well-known tool to reduce...

The study of circuit placement in VLSI physical design has been conducted for several decades. As circuit complexity increases, it is non-trivial to place all cells of the circuit within a reasonable time. Many researchers have presented new placement algorithms and tools to address placement issues such as minimization of wire length, routability, and run-time. Our approach is different in tha...

FPGA (Field Programmable Gate Array) based accelerators are attracting significant interest in cloud computing systems. Combining multi-FPGA systems with brings a new perspective to the reconfigurable research. However, multi-tenancy of system has not been fully discussed previous researches. In this paper, we propose multi-tenant resource management system, named FiC-RM, for system. FiC-RM pro...
