The trend towards powerfully programmable network switching hardware has led to much discussion of the exciting new ways in which it can be used. In this paper, we take a step back, and examine how it should be used.

Design and synthesis of programmable logic block with mixed LUT and macrogate
Small gates, such as AND2, XOR2, and MUX2, have been mixed with lookup tables (LUTs) inside programmable logic blocks (PLBs) to reduce area and power and increase performance in FPGAs. However, it is unclear whether incorporating macrogates with wide ...
