Placement • Use a standard algorithm of VPR and get a placed file. • Modify the placed file. • Modification of the placed file involves considering all the possible 12 transformations and deriving equations for them. • Implement a mapping program for this. 7 MAPLD 2005/1031
Placement Sample placed file Equations based on the transformation from the placed file for gate array to the placed file for the nano fabric: x = 2x – z y = 2y – z y B D 0 0 Slice number (z) A C 1 1 F 0 H 0 E G 1 1 x 8 MAPLD 2005/1031
