The programmable clock networks in FPGAs have a significant impact on overall power, area, and delay. Not only does the clock network itself dissipate a significant amount of powe...
In this paper we describe Frontier, an FPGA placement system that uses design macro-blocks in conjuction with a series of placement algorithms to achieve highly-routable and high-...
Field programmable gate arrays (FPGAs) are becoming increasingly important implementation platforms for digital circuits. One of the necessary requirements to effectively utilize ...
In this paper, we propose a placement method for islandstyle FPGAs, based on fast yet very good initial placement followed by refinement using ultra-low temperature Simulated Anne...
In this paper we introduce a new Simulated Annealingbased timing-driven placement algorithm for FPGAs. This paper has three main contributions. First, our algorithm employs a nove...
