Abstract

We have developed an optimization algorithm based formulation for performing efficient time driven simultaneous place and route for FPGAS. Field programmable gate array(FPGAS) provide of drastically reducing the turn-around time for digital ICs, with a relatively small degradation in performance. For a variety of application specific Integrated circuit application, where time-to-market is most critical and the performance requirement do not mandate a custom or semicustom approach, FPGAS are an increasingly popular alternative. This has prompted a substantial amount of specialized synthesis and layout research focused on maximizing density, minimizing delay, and minimizing design time.
