Synchronous interlocked pipelines

Locality principles are becoming paramount in controlling advancement of data through pipelined systems. Achieving fine grained power down and progressive pipeline stalls at the local stage level is therefore becoming increasingly, important to …

A standard-cell self-timed multiplier for energy and area critical synchronous systems

This paper describes the design of a standard-cell self-timed multiplier for use in energy and area critical synchronous systems. The area of this multiplier is bounded by N rather than N/sup 2/ as seen in more traditional combinational parallel …

RAPPID: an asynchronous instruction length decoder

This paper describes an investigation of potential advantages and risks of applying an aggressive asynchronous design methodology to Intel Architecture. RAPPID (\"Revolving Asynchronous Pentium(R) Processor Instruction Decoder\"), a prototype IA32 …
