Field-programmable gate arrays (FPGAs), which are pre-fabricated,
programmable digital integrated circuits (ICs), provide easy access
to state-of-the-art integrated circuit process technology, and in
doing so, democratize this technology of our time. This book is
about comparing the qualities of FPGA - their speed performance,
area and power consumption, against custom-fabricated ICs, and
exploring ways of mitigating their de ciencies. This work began as
a question that many have asked, and few had the resources to
answer - how much worse is an FPGA compared to a custom-designed
chip? As we dealt with that question, we found that it was far more
dif cult to answer than we anticipated, but that the results were
rich basic insights on fundamental understandings of FPGA
architecture. It also encouraged us to nd ways to leverage those
insights to seek ways to make FPGA technology better, which is what
the second half of the book is about. While the question "How much
worse is an FPGA than an ASIC?" has been a constant sub-theme of
all research on FPGAs, it was posed most directly, some time around
May 2004, by Professor Abbas El Gamal from Stanford University to
us - he was working on a 3D FPGA, and was wondering if any real
measurements had been made in this kind of comparison. Shortly
thereafter we took it up and tried to answer in a serious way.
