Abstract
This paper proposes a technique custom to the optimization requirements suited for a particular family of Field
Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGAs). As FPGAs have introduced reconfigurable black boxes there is a need to
perform optimization across FPGAs slice fabric in order to achieve optimum performance. Though the Register
Transfer Level (RTL) Hardware Descriptive Language (HDL) code should be technology independent but in many
design instances it is imperative to understand the target technology especially once the target device embeds
dedicated arithmetic blocks. No matter what the degree of optimization of the algorithm is, the configuration of
target device plays an important role as far as the device utilization and path delays are concerned*
