چکیده
We discuss the design of energy-efficient pipelines for asynchronous VLSI architectures. To maximize throughput in asynchronous pipelines it is often necessary to insert buffer stages, increasing the energy overhead. Instead of optimizing pipelines for minimum energy or maximum throughput, we consider a joint energy-time metric of the form E , where E is the energy per operation and is the time per operation. We show that pipelines optimized for the E energy-time metric may need fewer buffer stages and we give bounds when such stages can be removed. We present several common asynchronous pipeline structures and their energy-time optimized solutions.

The Derivation of Energy-Efficient Pipelines
We discuss the design of energy-efficient pipelines for asynchronous VLSI architectures. To maximize throughput in asyn-chronous pipelines it is often necessary to insert buffer stages, increasing the energy overhead. Instead of optimizing pipelines for minimum energy or maximum throughput, we consider a joint energy-time metric of the form ¼ is the energy per operation and ½ is the time per op...

Rapid depletion of energy resources has immensely affected the transportation sector, where the cargo transportation prices are rising considerably each year. Efforts have been made to develop newer modes of cargo transportation worldwide that are both economical and efficient for a long time. One such mode is the use of energy contained within fluids that flows in the pipelines for transportat...
متن کاملSelection of the Best Efficient Method for Natural Gas Storage at High Capacities Using TOPSIS Method
Nowadays one of the most important energy sources is natural gas. By depletion of oil reservoirs in the world, natural gas will emerge as the future energy source for human life. One of the major concerns of gas suppliers is being able to supply this source of energy the entire year. This concern intensifies during more consuming seasons of the year when the demand for natural gas increases, r...
متن کاملThe Use of Biobased Surfactant Obtained by Enzymatic Syntheses for Wax Deposition Inhibition and Drag Reduction in Crude Oil Pipelines
Crude oil plays an important role in providing the energy supply of the world, and pipelines have long been recognized as the safest and most efficient means of transporting oil and its products. However, the transportation process also faces the challenges of asphaltene-paraffin structural interactions, pipeline pressure losses and energy consumption. In order to determine the role of drag-red...
متن کاملTechniques for energy-efficient communication pipeline design
The performance of many modern computer and communication systems is dictated by the latency of communication pipelines. At the same time, power/energy consumption is often another limiting factor in many portable systems. We address the problem of how to minimize the power consumption in system-level pipelines under latency constraints. In particular, we apply fragmentation technique to achiev...
