all,
I would like some feedback on a new FPGA architecture.   Are there any
serious configurable logic gurus on this group?

If there is interest, I will post links to the 3 published papers that
discuss in detail a logic architecture that offers better than 10x
higher logic density than standard FPGA, along with a significant
reduction in power.

The research presents an architecture that can leverage "temporal
logic folding".

thanks.

I'm quite serious, and I'm highly configurable.  Whether I'm a
logic guru is entirely another matter :-)

If they are "published", in the sense that the information is
in the public domain, then you have nothing to lose and all to
gain: post the links anyway, and see if you get any bites.  
If they are under NDA or somesuch, then here is not the 
place.  If you have published without speaking with a 
good patent lawyer, then your potential investors
will likely not be very interested.

That's kinda meaningless without the documentation.  Is it 
anything like the stuff Tabula are doing?

I don't know. But searching for "temporal logic folding" results in this
article (article creation date: august 2009) :

Sounds interesting, but I guess it needs some more years of research before
it is usable in a product and it doesn't help for all FPGA problems,
because the space advantage has a speed penalty.
