Better-Than-Worst-Case-Designs use timing speculation to run with a cycle period faster than the one required for worst-case conditions. This speculation may produce timing violations and metastability that result in failures and non-deterministic timing behavior. The effects of these phenomena are not always well understood by designers and researchers in this area.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
