FPGA Architectural Flow: CAD Improvements

Curating Architectural 3D CAD Models

Increasing demand to manage and preserve 3-dimensional models for a variety of physical phenomena (e.g., building and engineering designs, computer games, or scientific visualizations) is creating new challenges for digital archives. Preserving 3D models requires identifying technical formats for the models that can be maintained over time, and the available formats offer different advantages a...

FPGA CAD Research: An Introduction

In this report, we firstly introduce several CAD tools in FPGA architecture and CAD research. Then we outline a typical CAD flow and use these tools to evaluate it. In the demo experiment, we select a small MCNC benchmark circuit as an input to the CAD flow, and then we give our results. Finally, we draw some conclusions and make plans for our future research.

Recognition and Modeling of Architectural Objects from Architectural CAD Drawings

Recently in the eld of building CAD, research and development in CAD and data sharing among CAD tools has introduced object-oriented technology. This technology has brought object-oriented CAD tools that allow users to designing buildings by means of architectural objects and the standard data speci cation IFC (Industry Foundation Classes), which is involved in the architectural CALS (Commerce ...

Architectural descriptions for FPGA circuits

FPGA-based synthesis tools require information about behaviour and architectural to make effective use of the limited number of cells typically available. A hardware description language which models layout and behaviour is used to elegantly specify circuit architecture. This source level information is used to efficiently translate circuit descriptions onto FPGA devices.
