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 ...

Satisfiability-Based Methods for Digital Circuit Design, Debug, and Optimization

Andrew James Becker

Designing digital circuits well is notoriously difficult. This difficulty stems in part from the very many degrees of freedom inherent in circuit design, typically coupled with the need to satisfy various constraints. In this thesis, we demonstrate how for ...
