Summary :

In this paper, we will show some significant results of the routability analysis of bit-serial pipeline datapath designs based on Rent's rule and Donath's observation. Our results show that all of the tested bit-serial benchmarks have Rent exponent of below 0.4, indicating that the average wiring length of the circuit is expected to be independent of the circuit size. This study provides some important implications on the silicon utilization and time-area efficiency of bit-serial pipeline circuits on FPGAs and ASICs.
