Programmable vs. fixed interconnect
Switch adds delay. Transistor off-state is worse in advanced
technologies. FPGA interconnect has extra length = added
capacitance.

Interconnect strategies
Some wires will not be utilized. Congestion will not be same throughout
the chip. Types of wires: Short wires: local LE connections. Global wires: long-distance, buffered
communication. Special wires: clocks, etc.

Platform-Based Design
A platform is a restriction on the space of possible implementation choices, providing a well-defined abstraction of the underlying technology for the application developer
New platforms will be defined at the architecture-micro-architecture boundary
They will be component-based, and will provide a range of choices from structured-custom to fully programmable implementations
Key to such approaches is the representation of communication in the platform model
“Only the consumer gets freedom of choice; designers need freedom from choice”
(Orfali, et al, 1996, p.522)
