摘要 This paper proposes a multilevel placer targeted at hierarchical FPGA(Field Programmable Gate Array) devices.The placer is based on multilevel optimization method which combines the multilevel bottom-up clustering process and top-down placement process into a V-cycle.It provides superior wirelength results over a known heuristic high-quality placement tool on a set of large circuits,when restricted to a short run time.For example,it can generate a placement result for a circuit with 5000 4-LUTs(4-Input Look Up Tables) in 70 seconds,almost 30%decrease of wirelength compared with than the heuristic implementation that takes over 500 seconds.We have verified our algorithm yields good quality-time tradeoff results as a low-temperature simulated annealing refinement process can only improve the result by an average of 1.11%at the cost of over 25-fold runtime.
