We present a design style and synthesis algorithm that encompasses both asynchronous and synchronous state machines. Our proposed design style not only supports generalized “bur...
Multiple asynchronous clock domains have been increasingly employed in System-on-Chip (SoC) designs for different I/O interfaces. Functional validation is one of the most expensiv...
—In latency-insensitive design shell modules are used to encapsulate system components (pearls) in order to interface them with the given latency-insensitive protocol and dynamic...
Stepwise refinement is at the core of many approaches to synthesis and optimization of hardware and software systems. For instance, it can be used to build a synthesis approach for...
This paper reports on the design of a test chip built to test a) a new latency insensitive network fabric protocol and circuits, b) a new synchronizer design, and c) how efficient...
