Abstract

This paper evaluates a new multilevel hierarchical FPGA (MFPGA). The specific architecture includes two unidirectional programmable networks: a downward network based on the Butterfly-Fat-Tree topology; and a special upward network. New tools are developed to place and route several benchmark circuits on this architecture. Comparison with the traditional symmetric Manhattan mesh architecture shows that MFPGA can implement circuits with a smaller area and better speed.
