Abstract

Asynchronous design of networks-on-chip

“…This leads to conclusions which support asynchronous implementation of NoC routers and links. Section V reviews the implementation of a couple of asynchronous NoCs designed at DTU [7], [8], [9], [10], [11], [12], [13], and finally section VI concludes the paper.…”

“…The design is significantly more complex than the audio DSP NoC, and the details are beyond the scope of this paper. The interested reader is referred to [7], [8], [9], [10], [11], [12], [13]. A prototype router for a 2D-mesh topology (c.f., figure 1) has been designed and implemented using standard cells in a 0.130 micron technology.…”

Gradual Synchronization

“…Suppose the j th event on A (i) i is SEM. By definition, this event must have occurred at time: 12) and the previous event must have occurred within the last clock cycle,…”
