Tree-based heterogeneous FPGA architectures: application specific exploration and optimization

This book presents a new FPGA architecture known as tree-based FPGA architecture, due to its hierarchical nature. This type of architecture has been relatively unexplored despite their better performance and predictable routing behavior, as compared to mesh-based FPGA architectures. In this book, we explore and optimize the tree-based architecture and we evaluate it by comparing it to equivalent mesh-based FPGA architectures. INDICE: Introduction.- FPGA Architectures: An Overview.- Homogeneous Architectures Exploration Environments.- Heterogeneous Architectures Exploration Environments.- Tree-based Application Specific Inflexible FPGA.- Tree-based ASIFUsing Heterogeneous Blocks.- Conclusion and Future Lines of Research.
