Asynchronous and synchronous quenching of a globally unstable jet via axisymmetry breaking

Jet quenching via jet collimation

The strong modifications of dijet properties in heavy ion collisions measured by ATLAS and CMS provide important constraints on the dynamical mechanisms underlying jet quenching. In this work, we show that the transport of soft gluons away from the jet cone — jet collimation — can account for the observed dijet asymmetry with values of q̂ L that lie in the expected order of magnitude. Further, w...

Globally Asynchronous Locally Synchronous (GALS) Interface

Synchronous Design Flow for Globally Asynchronous Locally Synchronous Systems

– In this paper, we introduce an efficient design flow for Globally Asynchronous Locally Synchronous systems, which can be used by designers without prior knowledge of asynchronous circuits. The design flow starts with a high-level description model of the system in Simulink and ends with a hardware implementation in an FPGA or a standard-cell ASIC. We have developed a tool in MATLAB, so that t...

Globally Asynchronous Locally Synchronous FPGA Architectures

Globally Asynchronous Locally Synchronous (GALS) Systems have provoked renewed interest over recent years as they have the potential to combine the benefits of asynchronous and synchronous design paradigms. It has been applied to ASICs, but not yet applied to FPGAs. In this paper we propose applying GALS techniques to FPGAs in order to overcome the limitation on timing imposed by slow routing.

A Digital Clock Multiplier for Globally Asynchronous Locally Synchronous Designs

For large high-speed globally synchronous ASICs, designing the clock distribution net becomes a troublesome task. Besides problems caused by clock skew, the clock net also is a major source of power consumption. Partitioning the design into locally clocked blocks reduces clock skew problems and if handled correctly it also reduces power consumption. However, to achieve these positive effects, t...
