摘要: We propose a general framework for FPGA routing, which allows simultaneous optimization of multiple competing objectives under smooth designercontrolled tradeoff. Our approach is based on new multi-weighted graph formulation, enabling theoretical performance characterization, as well practical implementation. router architectureindependent, computationally efficient, and performs industrial benchmarks.
