Efficient Buffer Allocation for Asynchronous Linear Pipelines by Design Space Localization
2004
Asynchronous circuit design is very attractive as a high performance design method since it can achieve average-case delay. However, it is hard to make use of such an advantage in a pipelined architecture due to the blocking/starvation effects between stages. In most of current solutions, buffers are allocated to reduce the blocking/starvation effects but it is difficult to find a distribution of buffers over an asynchronous linear pipeline(ALP) that is optimal in terms of ‘time*area’ cost.
