Abstract

The Plasma chip, designed specifically to address issues important to custom computing machines (CCM), completes a 100% fully automatic place and route in approximately three seconds. Plasma FPGAs using 0.8 micron CMOS are packaged in large multichip modules (MCMs). Plasma introduces some innovative architecture concepts including hardware support for large multiported register files
