Routability-Driven FPGA Placement Contest.

The advances of FPGA technology and increasing size of FPGA designs pose great challenges on FPGA design tools. Deep research on FPGA physical design problems is paramount to improve industrial tools. This contest is the first ISPD contest on FPGA CAD tools. Routability driven FPGA placement, in context of large designs modern FPGA architecture, is one of the best topics to start the effort.
