This file contains functions related to placement macros. The term "placement macros"
refers to a structure that contains information on blocks that need special treatment
during placement and possibly routing.
An example of placement macros is a carry chain. Blocks in a carry chain have to be
placed in a specific orientation or relative placement so that the carry_in's and the
carry_out's are properly aligned. With that, the carry chains would be able to use the
direct connections specified in the arch file. Direct connections with the pin's
fc_value 0 would be treated specially in routing where the whole carry chain would be
treated as a unit and regular routing would not be used to connect the carry_in's and
carry_out's. Floorplanning constraints may also be an example of placement macros.
The function alloc_and_load_placement_macros allocates and loads the placement
macros in the following steps:
(1) First, go through all the block types and mark down the pins that could possibly
be part of a placement macros.
(2) Then, go through the netlist of all the pins marked in (1) to find out all the
heads of the placement macros using criteria depending on the type of placement
macros. For carry chains, the heads of the placement macros are blocks with
carry_in's not connected to any nets (OPEN) while the carry_out's connected to the
netlist with only 1 SINK.
(3) Traverse from the heads to the tails of the placement macros and load the
information in the t_pl_macro data structure. Similar to (2), tails are identified
with criteria depending on the type of placement macros. For carry chains, the
tails are blocks with carry_out's not connected to any nets (OPEN) while the
carry_in's is connected to the netlist which has only 1 SINK.
The only placement macros supported at the moment are the carry chains with limited
functionality.
Current support for placement macros are:
(1) The arch parser for direct connections is working. The specifications of the direct
connections are specified in sample_adder_arch.xml and also in the
VPR_User_Manual.doc
(2) The placement macros allocator and loader is working.
(3) The initial placement of placement macros that respects the restrictions of the
placement macros is working.
(4) The post-placement legality check for placement macros is working.
Current limitations on placement macros are:
(1) One block could only be a part of a carry chain. In the future, if a block is part
of multiple placement macros, we should load 1 huge placement macro instead of
multiple placement macros that contain the same block.
(2) Bus direct connections (direct connections with multiple bits) are supported.
However, a 2-bit carry chain when loaded would become 2 1-bit carry chains.
And because of (1), only 1 1-bit carry chain would be loaded. In the future,
placement macros with multiple-bit connections or multiple 1-bit connections
should be allowed.
(3) Placement macros that span longer or wider than the chip would cause an error.
In the future, we *might* expand the size of the chip to accommodate such
placement macros that are crucial.
In order for the carry chain support to work, two changes are required in the
arch file.
(1) For carry chain support, added in a new child in <layout> called <directlist>.
<directlist> specifies a list of available direct connections on the FPGA chip
that are necessary for direct carry chain connections. These direct connections
would be treated specially in routing if the fc_value for the pins is specified
as 0. Note that only direct connections that has fc_value 0 could be used as a
carry chain.
A <directlist> may have 0 or more children called <direct>. For each <direct>,
there are the following fields:
1) name: This specifies the name given to this particular direct connection.
2) from_pin: This specifies the SOURCEs for this direct connection. The format
could be as following:
a) type_name.port_name, for all the pins in this port.
b) type_name.port_name [end_pin_index:start_pin_index], for a
single pin, the end_pin_index and start_pin_index could be
the same.
3) to_pin: This specifies the SINKs for this direct connection. The format is
the same as from_pin.
Note that the width of the from_pin and to_pin has to match.
4) x_offset: This specifies the x direction that this connection is going from
SOURCEs to SINKs.
5) y_offset: This specifies the y direction that this connection is going from
SOURCEs to SINKs.
Note that the x_offset and y_offset could not both be 0.
6) z_offset: This specifies the z sublocations that all the blocks in this
direct connection to be at.
The example of a direct connection specification below shows a possible carry chain
connection going north on the FPGA chip:
_______________________________________________________________________________
| <directlist> |
| <direct name="adder_carry" from_pin="adder.cout" to_pin="adder.cin" |
| x_offset="0" y_offset="1" z_offset="0"/> |
| </directlist> |
|_______________________________________________________________________________|
A corresponding arch file that has this direct connection is sample_adder_arch.xml
A corresponding blif file that uses this direct connection is adder.blif
(2) As mentioned in (1), carry chain connections using the directs would only be
recognized if the pin's fc_value is 0. In order to achieve this, pin-based fc_value
is required. Hence, the new <fc> tag replaces both <fc_in> and <fc_out> tags.
A <fc> tag may have 0 or more children called <pin>. For each <fc>, there are the
following fields:
1) default_in_type: This specifies the default fc_type for input pins. They could
be "frac", "abs" or "full".
2) default_in_val: This specifies the default fc_value for input pins.
3) default_out_type: This specifies the default fc_type for output pins. They could
be "frac", "abs" or "full".
4) default_out_val: This specifies the default fc_value for output pins.
As for the <pin> children, there are the following fields:
1) name: This specifies the name of the port/pin that the fc_type and fc_value
apply to. The name have to be in the format "port_name" or
"port_name [end_pin_index:start_pin_index]" where port_name is the name
of the port it apply to while end_pin_index and start_pin_index could
be specified to apply the fc_type and fc_value that follows to part of
a bus (multi-pin) port.
2) fc_type: This specifies the fc_type that would be applied to the specified pins.
3) fc_val: This specifies the fc_value that would be applied to the specified pins.
The example of a pin-based fc_value specification below shows that the fc_values for
the cout and the cin ports are 0:
_______________________________________________________________________________
| <fc default_in_type="frac" default_in_val="0.15" default_out_type="frac" |
| default_out_val="0.15"> |
| <pin name="cin" fc_type="frac" fc_val="0"/> |
| <pin name="cout" fc_type="frac" fc_val="0"/> |
| </fc> |
|_______________________________________________________________________________|
A corresponding arch file that has this direct connection is sample_adder_arch.xml
A corresponding blif file that uses this direct connection is adder.blif
