IIBLAST: Speeding Up Commercial FPGA Routing by Decoupling and Mitigating the Intra-CLB Bottleneck

Mirjana Stojilovic, Stefan Nikolic, Shashwat Shrivastava

We identified that in modern commercial FPGAs, routing signals from the general interconnect to the configurable logic blocks (CLBs) through a very sparse input interconnect block (IIB) represents a significant runtime bottleneck. This is despite academic ...

Electronic transport in graphene nanoribbon junctions

Kristians Cernevics

Graphene nanoribbons (GNRs) - one-dimensional strips of graphene - share many of the exciting properties of graphene, such as ballistic transport over micron dimensions, strength and flexibility, but more importantly, they exhibit a tunable band gap that d ...

Closing Leaks: Routing Against Crosstalk Side-Channel Attacks

Mirjana Stojilovic, Seyedeh Sharareh Mirzargar, Zeinab Seifoori

This paper presents an extension to PathFinder FPGA routing algorithm, which enables it to deliver FPGA designs free from risks of crosstalk attacks. Crosstalk side-channel attacks are a real threat in large designs assembled from various IPs, where some I ...

Straight to the Point: Intra- and Intercluster LUT Connections to Mitigate the Delay of Programmable Routing

Paolo Ienne, Grace Zgheib, Stefan Nikolic

Technology scaling makes metal delay ever more problematic, but routing between Look-Up Tables (LUTs) still passes through a series of transistors. It seems wise to avoid the corresponding delay whenever possible. Direct connections between LUTs, both with ...
