VTR

Placement Critical Path Wiring Routing Usage

The Verilog-to-Routing (VTR) project [LAK+14, RLY+12] is a world-wide collaborative effort to provide a open-source framework for conducting FPGA architecture and CAD research and development. The VTR design flow takes as input a Verilog description of a digital circuit, and a description of the target FPGA architecture.

It then perfoms:

  • Elaboration & Synthesis (Odin II)

  • Logic Optimization & Technology Mapping (ABC)

  • Packing, Placement, Routing & Timing Analysis (VPR)

Generating FPGA speed and area results.

VTR also includes a set of benchmark designs known to work with the design flow.
