Congratulations to Dr. Steve Wilton and Dr. Guy Lemieux whose papers were chosen as two of the 25 most significant papers written in the last twenty years on FPGA (Field-Programmable Gate Arrays). The list of significant papers, described as key building blocks in wide use throughout industry and academia, was announced at the 20th International Symposium on Field-Programmable Gate Arrays, hosted by the Association for Computer Machinery. The papers were selected after a year-long process calling for nominations from the entire FPGA community.
In his endorsement of Guy Lemieux and David Lewis’s paper, “Using Sparse Crossbars within LUT Clusters” Sinan Kaptanoglu writes, “I consider this paper to be one of the most significant pieces of academic research on routing architectures for FPGAs.” “This paper has been inspirational for further work in this area, especially in the FPGA industry.” Dr. Lemieux specializes in programmable logic and computing systems as well as multiprocessor and computer architecture.
In 2002 Dr. Steven Wilton co-authored “Sensitivity of FPGA Architectural Conclusions to Experimental Assumptions, Tools, and Techniques” with two UBC undergraduate students, Andy Yan and Rebecca Cheng. Katherine Compton, in her endorsement states,”This paper demonstrates the importance of carefully constructing experiments and thoughtfully analyzing the results—questioning their validity and applicability. The core message of the paper, the dependent nature of experimental methodologies and results, is timeless and transcends the FPGA research field”. Dr. Wilton specializes in field programmable gate array architectures and CAD tools.
