NetCracker: A Peek into the Routing Architecture of Xilinx 7-Series FPGAs

Mirjana Stojilovic, Stefan Nikolic, Morten Borup Petersen

Novel applications have triggered significant changes at the system level of FPGA architecture design, such as the introduction of embedded VLIW processor arrays and hardened NoCs. However, the routing architecture of the soft logic fabric has largely rema ...

FPGA-Assisted Deterministic Routing for FPGAs

Mirjana Stojilovic, Dario Korolija

FPGA routing is one of the most time-consuming steps of FPGA compilation, often preventing fast edit-compile-test cycles in prototyping and development. There have been attempts to accelerate FPGA routing using algorithmic improvements, multi-core or multi ...

FPGA-SPICE: A Simulation-Based Architecture Evaluation Framework for FPGAs

Giovanni De Micheli, Pierre-Emmanuel Julien Marc Gaillardon, Xifan Tang, Edouard Giacomin

In this paper, we developed a simulation-based architecture evaluation framework for field-programmable gate arrays (FPGAs), called FPGA-SPICE, which enables automatic layout-level estimation and electrical simulations of FPGA architectures. FPGA-SPICE can ...

Small-animal and endoscopic PET detector modules based on multichannel digital silicon photomultipliers

Edoardo Charbon, Augusto Carimatto, Esteban Venialgo Araujo

In time-of-flight (TOF) positron emission tomography (PET), the coincidence resolving time (CRT) has a strong influence on the overall performance. Multichannel digital silicon photomultipliers (MD-SiPMs) are able to obtain several timestamps for gamma pho ...
