Scalable Partitioning Algorithms for FPGAs with Heterogeneous Resources

چکیده
As FPGA densities increase, partitioning-based FPGA placement approaches are becoming increasingly important as they can be used to provide high-quality and computationally scalable placement solutions. However, modern FPGA architectures incorporate heterogeneous resources, which place additional requirements on the partitioning algorithms because they now need to not only minimize the cut and balance the partitions, but also they must ensure that none of the resources in each partition is over-subscribed. In this paper, we present a number of multilevel multiresource hypergraph partitioning algorithms that are guaranteed to produce solutions that balance the utilization of the different resources across the partitions. We evaluate our algorithms on twelve industrial benchmarks ranging in size from 5,236 to 140,118 cells and show that they achieve minimal degradation in the min-cut while balancing the various resources. Comparing the quality of the solution produced by some of our algorithms against that produced by hMETIS, we show that our algorithms are capable of balancing the different resources while incurring only a 3.3%–5.7% higher cut.

Performance-driven technology mapping for heterogeneous FPGAs
In order to maximize performance and device utilization, the recent generation of field programmable gate arrays (FPGAs) take advantage of speed and density benefits resulting from heterogeneous FPGAs, which can be classified into heterogeneous FPGAs without bounded resources or heterogeneous FPGAs with bounded resources. In this paper, we study the technology mapping problem for heterogeneous ...

In order to maximize performance and device utilization, recent generation of FPGAs take advantage of speed and density beneets resulted from heterogeneous FPGAs, which provide either an array of homogeneous programmable logic blocks (PLBs), each conngured to implement circuits with LUTs of diierent sizes, or an array of physically heterogeneous LUTs. Some heterogeneous FPGAs do not have limita...
متن کاملIntelligent scalable image watermarking robust against progressive DWT-based compression using genetic algorithms
Image watermarking refers to the process of embedding an authentication message, called watermark, into the host image to uniquely identify the ownership. In this paper a novel, intelligent, scalable, robust wavelet-based watermarking approach is proposed. The proposed approach employs a genetic algorithm to find nearly optimal positions to insert watermark. The embedding positions coded as chr...
متن کاملComplexity Analysis for 4-Input/1-Output FPGAs Applied to Multiplier Designs
Some algorithms are more efficient than others. The complexity of an algorithm is a function describing the efficiency of the algorithm which has two measures: Space Complexity and Time Complexity. In this paper, we present complexity analysis for FPGA based designs which is based on 4-input and 1-output LUT structure followed by the majority of FPGA manufacturers. The same procedure is then ap...
