Architectural descriptions for FPGA circuits
نویسنده
چکیده
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.

A System-Level Synthetic Circuit Generator for FPGA Architectural Analysis
Architectural research for Field-Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGAs) tends to use an experimental approach. The benchmark circuits are used not only to compare different architectures, but also to ensure that the FPGA is sufficiently flexible to implement the desired variety of circuits. The most common benchmark circuits used for architectural research are circuits from the Microelectronics Cente...

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...
متن کاملDeclarative FPGA Circuit Synthesis using Kansas Lava
Designing and debugging hardware components is challenging, especially when performance requirements demands a complex orchestra of cooperating and highly synchronized computation engines. New language-based solutions to this problem have the potential to revolutionize how we think about and build circuits. In this paper, we describe our language-based approach to semi-formal codesign. Using ex...
متن کاملEquivalence of Logic Circuits and their Description in VHDL
In this paper, we define the equivalence of logic circuits and examine their description in VHDL. We can describe logic circuit components as relations between input and output signals in VHDL and implement such circuits on FPGA. In this case, it is necessary to verify the equivalence of VHDL descriptions and the actual logic circuits constructed based on these descriptions. In a previous work,...
متن کاملA Technical Report on Design Space Exploration and CLB Customization for Application-Specific FPGAs
The inclusion of field programmable gate arrays (FPGAs) within a system-on-a-chip (SOC) design offers programmability, flexibility, and reconfigurability not possible with applicationspecific integrated circuits (ASIC) or full-custom implementations. However, these benefits come at the expense of significant area, performance, and power consumption overheads compared to ASIC or full-custom circ...
