# Naming convention for VPR architecture files
Please reveal the following architecture features in the names to help quickly spot architecture files.

- k<lut\_size>\_<frac><Native>: Look-Up Table (LUT) size of FPGA. If you have fracturable LUTs or multiple LUT circuits, this should be largest input size. 
  * The keyword 'frac' is to specify if fracturable LUT is used or not.
  * The keyword 'Native' is to specify if fracturable LUT design is a native one (without mode switch) or a standard one (with mode switch).
- N<le\_size>: Number of logic elements for a CLB. If you have multiple CLB architectures, this should be largest number.
- tileable<IO|ConcatWire>: If the routing architecture is tileable or not. 
  * The keyword 'IO' specifies if the I/O tile is tileable or not
  * The keyword 'ConcatWire' specifies if the routing wires can be continued in the same direction or not. For example, L4 -> L1
- fracff<2edge>: Use multi-mode flip-flop model, where reset/set polarity is configurable. When 2edge is specified, clock polarity can be switched between postive edge triggered and negative edge triggered
- adder\_chain: If hard adder/carry chain is used inside CLBs
- register\_chain: If shift register chain is used inside CLBs
- scan\_chain: If scan chain testing infrastructure is used inside CLBs
- <wide>\_<frac>\_mem<mem\_size>: If block RAM (BRAM) is used or not. If used, the memory size should be clarified here. The keyword 'wide' is to specify if the BRAM spans more than 1 column. The keyword 'frac' is to specify if the BRAM is fracturable to operate in different modes.
- <wide>\_<frac>\_dsp<dsp\_size>reg: If Digital Signal Processor (DSP) is used or not. If used, the input size should be clarified here.
  - The keyword 'wide' is to specify if the DSP spans more than 1 column. 
  - The keyword 'frac' is to specify if the DSP is fracturable to operate in different modes.
  - The keyword 'reg' is to specify if the DSP has input and output registers. If only input or output registers are used, the keyword will be 'regin' or 'regout' respectively.
- mem<mem\_size>: If block RAM (BRAM) is used or not. If used, the memory size should be clarified here. The keyword wide is to specify if the BRAM spanns more than 1 column.
- aib: If the Advanced Interface Bus (AIB) is used in place of some I/Os.
- multi\_io\_capacity: If I/O capacity is different on each side of FPGAs.
- reduced\_io: If I/Os only appear a certain or multiple sides of FPGAs 
- registerable\_io: If I/Os are registerable (can be either combinational or sequential)
- IoSubtile: If I/O block contains sub tiles (more compact with a higher density of I/Os)
- PerimeterCb: If connection blocks can occur on perimeter I/Os (I/O tile has more routability)
- CustomIoLoc: Use OpenFPGA's extended custom I/O location syntax
- rstOnLut: The reset signal of CLB can feed LUT inputs through a local routing architecture
- localClkGen: The clock signal of CLB can be generated by internal programmable resources
- localRstGen: The reset signal of CLB can be generated by internal programmable resources
- <feature\_size>: The technology node which the delay numbers are extracted from.
- TileOrgz<Type>: How tile is organized. 
  * Top-left (Tl): the pins of a tile are placed on the top side and left side only
  * Top-right (Tr): the pins of a tile are placed on the top side and right side only
  * Bottom-right (Br): the pins of a tile are placed on the bottom side and right side only
- GlobalTile<Int>Clk: How many clocks are defined through global ports from physical tiles. <Int> is the number of clocks 
- ecb: *Enhanced Connection Block* where connection blocks includes feedback connections

Other features are used in naming should be listed here.
