Abstract— Frame synchronization is classically treated in literature for equiprobable data symbols. In this case the optimum metric has been derived both in the case of periodica...
Parameterized first-order models for throughput, energy, and bandwidth are presented in this paper. Models are developed for many common pipeline methodologies, including clocked...
Networks of timed automata (NTA) are widely used to model distributed real-time systems. Quite often in the literature, the automata are allowed to share clocks. This is a problem ...
Clock skew scheduling has been effectively used to reduce the clock period of sequential circuits. However, this technique may become impractical if a different skew must be appli...
Synchronous design methods have intrinsic performance overheads due to their use of the global clock and timing assumptions. In future manufacturing processes not only may it beco...
