Using on-chip interconnection networks in place of ad-hoc global wiring structures the top level wires on a chip and facilitates modular design. With this approach, system modules...
The high unit cost of FPGA devices often deters their use beyond the prototyping stage. Efforts have been made to reduce the part-cost of FPGA devices, resulting in the developmen...

Until very recently, microprocessor designs were computation-centric. On-chip communication was frequently ignored. This was because of fast, single-cycle on-chip communication. T...
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...
In this paper we present a new global router appropriate for Multichip Module MCM and dense Printed Circuit Board PCB design, which utilizes a hybrid of the classical rip-up and r...
