General Hierarchy
=================
The extension of the VPR architectural description language is developed as an independent branch of the original one. Most of the FPGA-SPICE descriptions are located under a XML node called <spice_settings>, which is a child node under the root node <architecture>. 
Under the <spice_settings>, some child node is created for describing SPICE simulation settings, technology library and transistor-level modeling of circuit modules.
In the following sub-sections, we will introduce the structures of these XML nodes and the parameters provided.
