Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

In the sub-wavelength regime, design for manufacturability (DFM) becomes increasingly important for field programmable gate arrays (FPGAs). In this paper, we report an automated tile generation flow targeting micro-regular fabric, this flow automatically generate the basic FPGA tile building block in a standard cell format and then form the whole tile with the help of commercial placing and routing tools. Using a publicly accessible, well-documented academic FPGA as case study, we found that comparing to the tile generators previously reported, our generated micro-regular tile incurs less than 10% area overhead, which could be potentially recovered by process window optimization thanks to its superior printability. In addition, we demonstrate that on 45nm technology, the generated FPGA tile reduces lithography induced process variation by 33%; and reduce probability of failure by 21.2%. If further overhead of 10% area can be recovered by enhanced resolution, we can achieve the variation reduction of 93.8% and reduce probability of failure by 16.2%.

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
