An asynchronous instruction length decoder

This paper describes an investigation of potential advantages and pitfalls of applying an asynchronous design methodology to an advanced microprocessor architecture. A prototype complex instruction set length decoding and steering unit was …

POSET timing and its application to the synthesis and verification of gate-level timed circuits

This paper presents a new algorithm for timed state-space exploration, POSET timing, POSET timing improves upon geometric methods by utilizing concurrency and causality information to dramatically reduce the number of geometric regions needed to …

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 …
