ABSTRACT:

Non-volatilememory (NVM) technologies have been known for their advantages of largecapacity, low energy consumption, high error-resistance, and near-zero power-ondelay. It is expected that they will replace traditional SRAM as FPGAreconfigurable blocks. While NVMs promise FPGAs with more reconfigurableresources, lower power consumption, and higher resilience to powerinterruptions, they also impose two new design challenges: the slow writeperformance of NVMs may degrade FPGA reconfiguration speed, while their limitedwrite endurance constrains FPGA programming cycles. None of these NVM featuresare taken into consideration in current FPGA synthesis tools, which have beenoptimized solely for SRAM-based FPGAs. To tackle this limitation, this talkpresents a set approaches to tune the logic synthesis, placement and routing stages onFPGA synthesis flow to be NVM-friendly.
