For a research project, you have a choice of using an FPGA or using a standard cell design. However, you still will need to compare design performance, density and power compared with other designs implemented in the same technology. The wiring pattern in the high level architecture is as below. This wiring pattern is unique to your design. The buses shown are also very wide – 64 bits. Which best matches your reasoning as to which platform you will choose and why?

Question

Accepted Answer

Standard cell. An FPGA will be heavily interconnect constrained and the logic cells underused.

Answer

FPGA. This is well suited to an FPGA implementation and will make efficient use of the available logic cells.

Answer

FPGA. The interconnect can be implemented in the logic cells.

Answer

Standard Cell. The connections are easily implemented in the package on which the chip is mounted.
