Enhancing the Area Efficiency of FPGAs With Hard Circuits Using Shadow Clusters
There is a dramatic logic density gap between FPGAs and ASICs, and this gap is the main reason FPGAs are not cost-effective in high volume applications. Modern FPGAs narrow this ga...

Beyond the arithmetic constraint: depth-optimal mapping of logic chains in LUT-based FPGAs
Look-up table based FPGAs have migrated from a niche technology for design prototyping to a valuable end-product component and, in some cases, a replacement for general purpose pr...

QUKU: A Two-Level Reconfigurable Architecture
FPGAs have been used for prototyping of ASICs, for low-volume ASIC replacement and for systems requiring in-field hardware upgrades. However, the potential to use dynamic reconfig...
