Packing a modern Xilinx FPGA using RapidSmith

Abstract

Academic packing algorithms have typically been limited to theoretical architectures. In this paper, we describe RSVPack, a packing algorithm built on top of RapidSmith to target the Xilinx Virtex 6 architecture. We integrate our packer into the Xilinx ISE CAD flow and demonstrate our packer tool by packing a set of benchmark circuits and performing routing and timing analysis inside ISE.
