Abstract
Recent dramatic improvements in integrated circuit fabrication technology have led to Field-Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGAs) capable of implementing entire digital systems, as opposed to the smaller logic circuits that have traditionally been targeted to FPGAs. Unlike the smaller circuits, these large systems often contain memory. Architectural support for the efficient implementation of memory in next-generation FPGAs is therefore crucial. This dissertation examines the architecture of FPGAs with memory,aswell as algorithms that map circuits into these devices. Three aspects are considered: the analysis of circuits that contain memory as well as the automated random generation of such circuits, the architecture and algorithms for stand-alone con#gurable memory devices, and architect...
