| Description | To facilitate the development of future FPGA architectures and CAD tools – both embedded programmable fabrics and pure-play FPGAs – there is a need for a large scale, publicly available software suite that can synthesize circuits into easily-described hypothetical FPGA architectures. These circuits should be captured at the HDL level, or higher, and pass through logical and physical synthesis. Such a tool must provide detailed modelling of area, performance and energy to enable architecture exploration. As software flows themselves evolve to permit design capture at ever higher levels of abstraction, this downstream full-implementation flow will always be required. This paper describes the current status and new release of an ongoing effort to create such a flow-the ‘Verilog to Routing ’ (VTR) project, which is a broad collaboration In ACM/SIGDA International Symposium on Field Programmable Gate Arrays |
