Achitecture Level Optimization for Asynchronous IPS1
نویسندگان
چکیده
In1this paper we present a customized approach to performance and area optimization of asynchronous functional blocks. First an abstract model of the block architecture is introduced and an analytical method for throughput maximization is described. Secondly, area optimization can be performed with respect to data dependencies and merged data paths. These methods have been implemented and validated by several examples. A first chip implementing all relevant architecture blocks has been produced. The chip is named FLYSIG2 and operates completely delay-insensitive.

متن کاملEvolution of a Novel Antiviral Immune-Signaling Interaction by Partial-Gene Duplication
The RIG-like receptors (RLRs) are related proteins that identify viral RNA in the cytoplasm and activate cellular immune responses, primarily through direct protein-protein interactions with the signal transducer, IPS1. Although it has been well established that the RLRs, RIG-I and MDA5, activate IPS1 through binding between the twin caspase activation and recruitment domains (CARDs) on the RLR...

JOHN B. HANSEN: A Behavioral Design Flow for Synthesis and Optimization of Asynchronous Systems. (Under the direction of Montek Singh.) Asynchronous or clockless design is believed to hold the promise of alleviating many of the challenges currently facing microelectronic design. Distributing a high-speed clock signal across an entire chip is an increasing challenge, particularly as the number o...
متن کاملFeedback from human posterior parietal cortex enables visuospatial category representations as early as primary visual cortex
Introduction Categorization is a fundamental cognitive process, whereby the brain assigns meaning to sensory stimuli. Previous studies have found category representations in prefrontal cortex and posterior parietal cortex (PPC). However, these higher-order areas lack the fine-scale spatial representations of early sensory areas, and it remains unclear what mechanisms enable flexible categorizat...
متن کاملAHMOSE: Modeling, Analysis and Optimization for Multi-Protocol Asynchronous Circuits
Asynchronous circuits show potential interest from many aspects. However there modeling, analysis and optimization are stumbling blocks to spread this technology on commercial level. AHMOSE provides designers by efficient tools for modeling, analyzing and optimizing their circuits in the presence of multi handshaking protocols.
