Exploring trade-offs in buffer requirements and throughput constraints for synchronous dataflow graphs
Multimedia applications usually have throughput constraints. An implementation must meet these constraints, while it minimizes resource usage and energy consumption. The compute i...

Circuit simulation based obstacle-aware Steiner routing
Steiner routing is a fundamental yet NP-hard problem in VLSI design and other research fields. In this paper, we propose to model the routing graph by an RC network with routing t...

Optimal cell flipping in placement and floorplanning
In a placed circuit, there are a lot of movable cells that can be flipped to further reduce the total wirelength, without affecting the original placement solution. We aim at solv...

A new hybrid FPGA with nanoscale clusters and CMOS routing
In this paper we propose a hybrid FPGA using nanoscale clusters with an architecture similar to clusters of traditional CMOS FPGAs. The proposed cluster is made of a crossbar of n...
