一种流行的FPGA互连网络基于岛式模型，其中逻辑块的行和列由包含路由线的通道分开。开关块放置在水平和垂直通道的交叉处，以允许电线连接在一起。以前的开关块设计集中在单个开关块的分析或使用具有实验评估的特设设计。本文提出了一种分析框架，它认为设计的开关块包含任何长度的线段的连续织物。该框架被用来设计新的开关块，实验证明是最好的已知日期一样有效。有了这个框架，我们希望激发新的方式来看待开关块设计。
One popular FPGA interconnection network is based on the islandstyle model, where rows and columns of logic blocks are separated by channels containing routing wires. Switch blocks are placed at the intersections of the horizontal and vertical channels to allow the wires to be connected together. Previous switch block design has focused on the analysis of individual switch blocks or the use of ad hoc design with experimental evaluation. This paper presents an analytical framework which considers the design of a continuous fabric of switch blocks containing wire segments of any length. The framework is used to design new switch blocks which are experimentally shown to be as effective as the best ones known to date. With this framework, we hope to inspire new ways of looking at switch block design.
