TRIPTYCH: An FPGA Architecture with Integrated Logic and Routing

摘要: We describe Triptych, a new FPGA architecture, that blends logic and routing resources to achieve efficient implementation of wide range circuits in both area speed. The physical structure Triptych attempts match the factored functions, thus providing an substrate which implement these circuits. This approach requires takes advantage integrated mapping, placement process. first architecture detail. is followed by development method for architectural comparison FPGAs free irrelevant effects. Then Xilinx, Algotronix, Concurrent Logic architectures are compared using this obtain normalized performance figures circuits, including datapath elements control logic. Our results indicate more area-efficient (Xilinx mappings average 3.5 times larger than mappings) has at least comparable delay characteristics.
