Heat is a main concern for processors in deep sub-micron technologies. The chip temperature is affected by both the power consumption of processor components and the chip layout....
This paper argues the case for the use of analytical models in FPGA architecture layout exploration. We show that the problem when simplified, is amenable to formal optimization t...
