The increasing size of modern FPGAs allows for ever more complex applications to be mapped onto them. However, long design implementation times for large designs can severely affect design productivity. A modular design methodology can improve design productivity in a divide and conqueror fashion but at the expense of degraded performance and power...

Present Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) manufacturers incorporate multi-millions of logic resources which enables hardware designers to design applications extending to enormous scales. However, handling such applications by existing FPGA Computer Aided Design (CAD) flow requires more improvement in terms of compilation time, performance and p...

FPGA-based system-on-chip (SoC) devices for Internet of Things (IoT) applications require hardware-software (HW-SW) partitioning techniques to optimize for performance under stringent area and power constraints. To obtain an optimally partitioned design it is necessary to account for the data communication cost between hardware and software. Howeve...

Modern FPGAs integrate multi-million logic resources that allow the realization of increasingly large designs. However, state-of-the-art simulated annealing based CAD tools for FPGA suffer from long runtime, poor performance and sub-optimal routing and placement decisions, especially for large applications, leading to less energy efficient designs....

Introduction Telepresence [4] is an extension of Robotic Technology which allows a person to appear or present at a separate location virtually. In 1980s, the study of using robots to represent a person has started and in early 1990s similar kind of Telepresence robots were available. As the other kinds of robots, the Telepresence Robots are now co...
