Tree-Based Heterogeneous FPGA Architectures: Application Specific Exploration and Optimization

by Farooq Umer, Marrakchi Zied, Mehrez Habib

This book presents a new FPGA architecture known as tree-based FPGA architecture, due to its hierarchical nature. This type of architecture has been relatively unexplored despite their better performance and predictable routing behavior, as compared to mesh-based FPGA architectures. In this book, we explore and optimize the tree-based architecture and we evaluate it by comparing it to equivalent mesh-based FPGA architectures.
