Accelerating Incremental Floorplanning of Partially Reconfigurable Designs to Improve FPGA Productivity
FPGA implementation tool turnaround time has unfortunately not kept pace with FPGA density advances. It is difficult to parallelize place-and-route algorithms without sacrificing determinism or quality of results. We approach the problem in a different way for development environments in which some …

Timing-Aware Automatic Floorplanning of Partially Reconfigurable Designs for Accelerating FPGA Productivity
FPGA implementation tool speed has not kept pace with the increase in design size and FPGA density. It is difficult to parallelize place-and-route algorithms without sacrificing determinism or quality of results. We address the implementation problem using a divide-and-conquer approach. The PATIS …

A Toolkit for Rapid FPGA System Deployment
FPGA implementation tools have not kept pace with growing FPGA density. It is common for non-trivial designs to take multiple hours to go through the entire FPGA toolflow (synthesis, mapping, placement, routing, bitstream generation). FPGA implementation tool runtime is a major hindrance to FPGA …

A Design Assembly Technique for FPGA Back-End Acceleration
… to restrict Field-Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) adaptation in modern computing platforms. This work presents an FPGA development paradigm that exploits logic variance and hierarchy as a means to increase FPGA productivity. The practical tasks of logic partitioning, placement and routing are …

OpenPR: An Open-Source Partial Reconfiguration Tool-Kit for Xilinx FPGAs
… performing a wide variety of research on Xilinx FPGAs. These tool kits provide a methodology for creating rectangular partial reconfiguration modules that can be swapped in and out of a static baseline design with one or more PR slots. This thesis presents a new PR toolkit called OpenPR that, for …

A Modular Flow for Rapid FPGA Design Implementation
This dissertation proposes an alternative FPGA design compilation flow to reduce the back-end time required to implement an FPGA design to below the level at which the user's attention is lost. To do so, this flow focuses on enforcing modular design for both productivity and code reuse, while …
