Title
Pattern-based FPGA logic block and clustering algorithm
Abstract
In classical FPGA, LUTs and DFFs are pre-packed into BLEs and then BLEs are grouped into logic blocks. We propose a novel logic block architecture with fast combinational paths between LUTs, called pattern-based logic blocks. A new clustering algorithm is developed to release the potential of pattern-based logic blocks. Experimental results show that the novel architecture and the associated clustering algorithm lead to a 14% performance gain and a 8% wirelength reduction with a 3% area overhead compared to conventional architecture in large control-instensive benchmarks.
