Floorplanning individual pipelined array modules of a larger overall die can yield beneficial results. Critical paths in every pipeline stage of a pipelined design are roughly equ...
Traditional approaches for sequential logic optimization include (1) explicit state-based techniques such as state minimization, (2) structural techniques such as retiming, and (3...
In this paper we examine a latency insensitive network composed of very fast and simple circuits that connects SoC cores that are also latency insensitive, de-synchronized, or asy...
