PAM Map: An architecture-independent logic block mapping algorithm for SRAM-based FPGAs

In this paper, we consider the general problem of mapping a given logic circuit onto an SRAM-based FPGA with programmable logic blocks of arbitrary architectures. We formulate the problem as a graph matching problem and present an architecture-independent algorithm for this purpose. This algorithm also obtains a best area saving of 4% compared to architecture-dependent methods.
