Abstract—Motivated by the goal of increasing the performance of FPGA-based designs, we propose new Steiner and arborescence FPGA routing algorithms. Our Steiner tree constructions significantly...
High-Performance Routing for Field-Programmable Gate Arrays* (2008)
Michael J. Alex, Gabriel Robins
The advantages of field-programmable gate ar-rays (FPGAs) are sometimes eclipsed by a substan-tial performance penalty due to signal delay through the programmable routing resources. We propose Q new...
Performance-Oriented Placement and Routing for Field-Programmable Gate Arrays * (2008)
Michael J. Alex, James P. Cohoon, Joseph L. Ganleyt, Gabriel Robins
This paper presents a performance-oriented placement and routing tool for field-programmable gate arrays. Using recursive geometric partitioning for simulta-neous placement and global routing, and a...
Three-Dimensional Field-Programmable Gate Arrays * (2008)
Michael J. Alex, James P. Cohoon, Jared L. Colflesh, John Karro, Gabriel Robins
Motivated by improving FPGA performance, we propose a new three-dimensional (3U) FPGA archi-tecture, along with a fabrication methodology. We an-alyze the expected manufacturing yield, and raise...
We examine both the short-term and long-term significance of the emerging field of reconfigurable VLSI (RVLSI), and propose a new research area that results from combining RVLSI with a distribution...
Memory Bandwidth Optimizations for Wide-Bus Machines (2007)
Michael J. Alex, Michael J. Alexander, Postal Address, Professor Jack, W. Davidson, Michael A. Alexander, ...
One of the critical problems facing designers of high performance processors is the disparity between processor speed and memory speed. This has occurred because innovation and technological...
An Architecture-Independent Approach to FPGA Routing Based on (1994)
Michael J. Alex, James P. Cohoon, Joseph L. Ganley, Gabriel Robins
We propose a general framework for FPGA routing, which allows simultaneous optimization of multiple competing objectives under a smooth designercontrolled tradeoff. Our approach is based on a new...
