Summary :

The switch-block architecture of FPGAs is discussed to see a good balance between programmable-switch resources and routability. For the purpose, FPGAs are assumed to have certain extremal structures, whose switch-blocks consist of parallel or complete switch-sets where a switch-set is a set of switches between two sides of the switch-block. A polynomial time detailed-routing algorithm for a given global-routing is presented if the switch-block consists of two or less parallel switch-sets or three that form a cycle. For other FPGAs, the corresponding decision problem is proved to be -complete. A best compromise between switch resources and routability is offered.
