In this paper we compare the routing architecture of island-style FPGAs based on field-programmable switch boxes with a maskprogrammable routing structure, in order to assess its position in the design ...
As a consequence, we believe that between the two bounds of the design space, i.e., ASICs and FPGAs, there are several hybrid architectural solutions trading off performances, power, area, and programmability ...
Typically up to 90% of the total chip area is allocated to the routing resources necessary to implement complex hierarchical interconnect architectures. ...
