A simultaneous placement and global routing algorithm for FPGAs

Abstract
An FPGA layout algorithm is presented, which deals with placement and global routing simultaneously by fully exploiting its regular structure. It is based on a simple and fast top-down hierarchical bi-partitioning, with placement and global routes represented by positions of logic-blocks and pseudo-blocks, respectively. Experimental results for several benchmark circuits demonstrates its efficiency and effectiveness.<>
