DynaBurst: Dynamically Assemblying DRAM Bursts over a Multitude of Random Accesses

Paolo Ienne, Mikhail Asiatici

The effective bandwidth of the FPGA external memory, usually DRAM, is extremely sensitive to the access pattern. Nonblocking caches that handle thousands of outstanding misses (miss-optimized memory systems) can dynamically improve bandwidth utilization wh ...

Performance characterization of Altera and Xilinx 28 nm FPGAs at cryogenic temperatures

Edoardo Charbon, Harald Arjan Robert Homulle

Quantum computers enable a massive speed-up in calculations, thanks to the nature of quantum operations. To unlock quantum computation, a classical system infrastructure is required for the control of qubits and processing of their data. While qubits are g ...

Deterministic Parallel Routing for FPGAs based on Galois Parallel Execution Model

Mirjana Stojilovic, Philip Brisk

This paper describes a deterministic and parallel implementation of the VPR routability-driven router for FPGAs. We considered two parallefization strategies: (1) routing multiple nets in parallel; and (2) routing one net at a time, while parallelizing the ...

Majority Logic Synthesis

Giovanni De Micheli, Mathias Soeken, Luca Gaetano Amarù, Eleonora Testa, Odysseas Zografos

The majority function (xyz) evaluates to true, if at least two of its Boolean inputs evaluate to true. The majority function has frequently been studied as a central primitive in logic synthesis applications for many decades. Knuth refers to the majority f ...

Design techniques for a stable operation of cryogenic field-programmable gate arrays

Edoardo Charbon, Harald Arjan Robert Homulle

In this paper, we show how a deep-submicron field-programmable gate array (FPGA) can be operated more stably at extremely low temperatures through special firmware design techniques. Stability at low temperatures is limited through long power supply wires ...
