Stratix® 10: 14nm FPGA delivering 1GHz

Abstract

This article consists of a collection of slides from the author's conference presentation. Summary points include: 3D integration isn't just integration, it is - De-risking, process matching, derivative proliferation and tick/tock; Device floorplanning and configuration get an upgrade - Software control allows for security and feature-up of devices; SoC integration is mainstream - Processor cost is a small subset of the die, coherent-accelerators; Pipelining unlocks optimizations in FPGA architecture - Using wires efficiently, not brute-forcing them faster - Faster == lower power when you can get designs to a more efficient place; Process is still giving us power benefits - 14nm Tri-Gate reduces power, enabling higher performance circuit-design.
