The logic tile,which consists of a logic cluster and related connection boxes (CBs), can be configured as either programmable logic arrays (PLAs) or look-up tables (LUTs), This architecture can be classified as an AND-LUT array. PLAs are suitable for the implementation of high fan-in logic circuits, while LUTs are used to implement low fan-in logic circuits. As a result, the proposed hybrid FPGA architecture (HFA) is more flexible to improve logic density. Experiments based on MCNC benchmark circuits were performed in both the hybrid architecture and conventional LUT-based symmetrical FPGA architecture in term of area consumption. Preliminary results indicate that on average, the area is reduced by 46% using the new hybrid architecture.展开更多

This could be achieved through improving energy efficiency, effective energy conservation and management. The weather conditions of a given region are the most important consideration for the proper design of space AC (Air Conditioning) systems. In this study, the typical meteorological year and climatic database of Turkey for the energy analysis of buildings were generated by SQL (Structured Query Language) database programmimg language. The Finkelstein-Schafer statistical method was applied to analyze the hourly measured weather data of a 23-year period (1989-2012) and select representative TMMs (Typical Meteorological Months). The selection criteria were based on 13 meteorological parameters. These parameters are the daily mean, maximum and minimum values and ranges of temperature, dew-point and wind velocity and the daily values of global solar radiation. According to results of TMY (Typical Meteorological Year), climatic database of Turkey including daily or hourly climate variables was created in SQL data tables.展开更多
