In this dissertation, multi-rate array (MRA) architecture and its synthesis are proposed
and developed. Using multi-coordinate systems (MCS), a unified theory for mapping
algorithms from their original algorithmic specifications onto multi-rate arrays is
developed.
A multi-rate array is a grid of processors in which each interconnection may have its
own...
Better performance has been one of the main motivations behind the recent resurgence
of interest in asynchronous circuits (no matter whether this is always true or not).
We are particularly interested in the performance of pipelines since they are used extensively
in current digital systems. There exists an algorithm that...
