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 …
