چکیده
Recently, there has been a resurgence of interest in asynchronous design techniques. Asynchronous logic provides a solution to the clock-related timing problems of synchronous systems and can offer higher performance and lower power consumption. This paper presents an approach for modeling and simulating asynchronous computer architectures using occam as a description language.

Dealing with Time Modelling Problems in Parallel Models of Asynchronous Computer Architectures
Recently, there has been a resurgence of interest in asynchronous design techniques. The research activity in this area has pointed to the need for suitable techniques for modelling and simulating asynchronous systems. The occam programming language allows the rapid development of parallel simulation models of asynchronous systems but its distributed nature introduces time modelling problems. T...

متن کاملExecution-Driven Distributed Simulation of Parallel Architectures
A new methodology for the asynchronous discrete event-driven simulation of parallel computers is proposed. This methodology integrates sequential and distributed simulation in a unified paradigm and is applicable to the simulation of all classes of parallel computer architectures. In our own simulation work we accelerated simulations by more than an order of magnitude with parallel execution sp...
متن کاملStructural Clocks for a Loosely Synchronized Data-Parallel Language
Nowadays, most of distributed architectures are MIMD (Multiple Instruction streams, Multiple Data streams) parallel computers or networks of workstations. They are easily scalable, concerning the number of processing elements, the amount of memory or the bandwidth of the underlying communication network. The challenge consists in taking advantage of the power of these architectures. It has been...
متن کاملDALD:-Distributed-Asynchronous-Local-Decontamination Algorithm in Arbitrary Graphs
Network environments always can be invaded by intruder agents. In networks where nodes are performing some computations, intruder agents might contaminate some nodes. Therefore, problem of decontaminating a network infected by intruder agents is one of the major problems in these networks. In this paper, we present a distributed asynchronous local algorithm for decontaminating a network. In mos...
