چکیده

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.

مدل عملکردی تحلیلی FPGA برای پردازش با قابلیت پیکربندی مجدد

Optimizing FPGA architectures is one of the key challenges in digital design flow. Traditionally, FPGA designers make use of CAD tools for evaluating architectures in terms of the area, delay and power. Recently, analytical methods have been proposed to optimize the architectures faster and easier. A complete analytical power, area and delay model have received little attention to date. In addi...

Visual Exploration of Simulated FPGA Architecures in Odin II

Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) research became more and more important during the last decades. The FPGA technology is being used in many fields and offers the main features scalability, flexibility and the low costs of prototyping. The functionality of FPGA devices is developed using hardware description languages such as Verilog. Those descriptions are translated to boolean circuits whi...

This paper is organized as follows

As Field-Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) power consumption continues to increase, lower power FPGA circuitry, architectures, and Computer-Aided Design (CAD) tools need to be developed. Before designing low-power FPGA circuitry, architectures, or CAD tools, we must first determine where the biggest savings (in terms of energy dissipation) are to be made and whether these savings are cumulative. I...

Co-evaluation of FPGA architectures and the CAD system for telecommunication

| We propose an FPGA architecture for next generation B-ISDN telecommunications systems. Such a system requires an FPGA in which an over 10K gates circuit can be implemented and that has a clock cycle rate of 80MHz. While the FPGA architecture has been discussed in terms of its circuit structure, we consider the circuit structure of the FPGA with its CAD tools. We evaluate several FPGA logic-el...

PROTEUS-Lite project: dedicated to developing a telecommunication-oriented FPGA and its applications

This paper describes a project dedicated to developing an improved (in terms of usability) version of our previous telecommunication-oriented field programmable gate array (FPGA), and its applications. To achieve this goal, we adopt several challenging design strategies. First, we determine the new FPGA architecture based on a quantitative evaluation carried out to optimize the interaction betw...
