Placement and routing tools for the Triptych FPGA

Field-programmable gate arrays (FPGAs) are becoming an increasingly important implementation medium for digital logic. One of the most important keys to using FPGAs effectively is a complete, automated software system for mapping onto the FPGA architecture. Unfortunately, many of the tools necessary require different techniques than traditional circuit implementation options, and these techniques are often developed specifically for only a single FPGA architecture. In this paper we describe automatic mapping tools for Triptych, an FPGA architecture with improved logic density and performance over commercial FPGAs. These tools include a simulated-annealing placement algorithm that handles the routability issues of fine-grained FPGAs, and an architecture-adaptive routing algorithm that can easily be retargeted to other FPGAs. We also describe extensions to these algorithms for mapping asynchronous circuits to Montage, the first FPGA architecture to completely support asynchronous and synchronous interface applications     

Locating objects in wide-area systems

Locating mobile objects in a worldwide system requires a scalable location service. An object can be a telephone or a notebook computer, but also a software or data object, such as a file or an electronic document. Our service strictly separates an object's name from the addresses where it can be contacted. This is done by introducing a location-independent object handle. An object's name is bound to its unique object handle, which, in turn, is mapped to the addresses where the object can be contacted. To locate an object, we need only its object handle. We present a scalable location service based on a worldwide distributed search tree that adapts dynamically to an object's migration pattern to optimize lookups and updates     

A 0.8-μm CMOS 2.5 Gb/s oversampling receiver and transmitter forserial links

A receiver targeting OC-48 (2.488 Gb/s) serial data link has been designed and integrated in a 0.8-μm CMOS process. An experimental receiving front-end circuit demonstrates the viability of using multiple phased clocks to overcome the intrinsic gate-speed limitations in the demultiplexing (receiving) and multiplexing (transmitting) of serial data. To perform clock recovery, data is 3× oversampled so that transitions can be detected to determine bit boundaries. The design of a transmitter for the high-speed serial data is also described. The complete transceiver occupies a die area of ~3×3 mm²

The Triptych FPGA architecture

Field-programmable gate arrays (FPGAs) are an important implementation medium for digital logic. Unfortunately, they currently suffer from poor silicon area utilization due to routing constraints. In this paper we present Triptych, an FPGA architecture designed to achieve improved logic density with competitive performance. This is done by allowing a per-mapping tradeoff between logic and routing resources, and with a routing scheme designed to match the structure of typical circuits. We show that, using manual placement, this architecture yields a logic density improvement of up to a factor of 3.5 over commercial FPGAs, with comparable performance. We also describe Montage, the first FPGA architecture to fully support asynchronous and synchronous interface circuits     

The Nanometer-Sized Eutectic Structure of Si/CrSi<Subscript>2</Subscript> Thermoelectric Materials Fabricated by Rapid Solidification

Nanostructuring is known to be an effective method to improve thermoelectric performance but, generally, it requires complex procedures and much labor. In the present study, self-assembled nanometer-sized composite structures of silicon (Si) and chromium disilicide (CrSi₂) were easily fabricated by the rapid solidification of a melt with a eutectic composition. Ribbon-like samples were obtained with a dominant nanostructure of fine aligned lamellae with a spacing range of 20–35 nm. The thermoelectric power factor of the ribbon was observed to be 1.2 mW/mK² at room temperature and reached 3.0 mW/mK² at 773 K. The thermal conductivity was 65% lower than that of a bulk eutectic sample. The results suggest that this method is promising for fabricating an effective nanostructure for thermoelectric performance.     

Measurement of RF Transmission Mode in ITER Relevant EC H&;CD Transmission Line

The preliminary results of mode measurement in the ITER relevant 40 m long transmission test line composed from 63.5 mm diameter corrugated waveguides and miter bends are presented. The field patterns were measured by taking temperature profiles on a paper screen placed in front of the waveguide end using an infrared imaging camera. The complex electric field at the waveguide end was retrieved from the measured temperature profiles. As a result, the transmission power includes 87% of HE₁₁ mode and 6% of LP₁₁ odd (HE₂₁+TE₀₁) mode and small ratios of other modes. The mode content had small dependence on length of the transmission line. This result indicated that the higher order mode content generated at the input of the transmission line is conserved and propagated through the transmission line. This suggests that the initial RF coupling to the waveguide is critical since it affects the launcher efficiency.
