Abstract

In this paper, we show that N-point fast Fourier transform (FFT) circuits with throughput 1 (i.e., time 1 after pipelining) can be optimally laid out with area N2/(4⌊ L2/2 ⌋) + o(N2/L2) under the multilayer 2-D grid model, where only one active layer (for network nodes) is required and L layers of wires are available, 2 <e; L <e; o(*sqrt;[3]N). We further propose AT2L2 or 2 AT2 ⌊ L2/2 ⌋ as a new parameter for characterizing the area-time complexity for multilayer VLSI, and show that AT2L2 ο N2/2 for N-point Fourier transform.
