Adaptive Pipeline Depth for Asynchronous Systems Using Collapsible Latch Controllers
نویسندگان
چکیده
A new class of latch controllers for asynchronous pipelines is presented. In addition to the standard operating mode, they can be configured in a collapsed mode, where the pipeline latches they control are kept transparent effectively joining the neighbouring pipeline stages into one. The depth of the resulting pipeline is dynamically adaptable, which can be used for power management of asynchronous pipelined systems.

Adaptive Pipeline Structures fo Speculation Control
Pipelining is a common method for improving the throughput of a system, especially when the majority of the processing is sequential. Unfortunately when the sequentiality is broken, a pipelined system suffers additional delay and, most importantly for this work, energy waste which is roughly proportional to the pipeline depth. Standard pipelines cannot be modified once they are built so their d...
متن کاملDesign of High-Performance Asynchronous Pipeline Using Synchronizing Logic Gates
This paper introduces a novel design method of an asynchronous pipeline based on dual-rail dynamic logic. The overhead of handshake control logic is greatly reduced by constructing a reliable critical datapath, which offers the pipeline high throughput as well as low power consumption. Synchronizing Logic Gates (SLGs), which have no data dependency problem, are used in the design to construct t...
متن کاملReconfigurable Latch Controllers for Low Power Asynchronous Circuits
A method for reducing the power consumption in asyn-chronous micropipeline-based circuits is presented. The method is based around a new design for latch controllers in which the operating mode of the pipeline latches (normally open/transparent or normally closed/opaque) can be selected according to the dynamic processing demand on the circuit. Operating in normally-closed mode prevents spuriou...
متن کاملParallel Test Structure in Latch Based Asynchronous Pipeline
Pipeline is a standard way of decomposing an operation into concurrently operating stages to increase throughout at a moderate increase in area. Pipeline can be implemented both synchronously and asynchronously. In a synchronous pipeline the global clock regulates the communication of data between stages. In asynchronous pipeline the communication of data between stages is regulated by local co...
متن کاملScan Test of Latch-based Asynchronous Pipeline Circuits under 2-phase Handshaking Protocol
Asynchronous MOUSETRAP pipeline circuit is a simple and fast circuit thanks to the 2-phase handshaking protocol which has no return-to-zero overhead. In this paper, we propose two scan D-latches in order to support its scan test since D-latches are used instead of flip-flops in the MOUSETRAP. We design some MOUSETRAP pipeline circuits with the ISCAS89 benchmark combinational circuits using 130n...
