Throughput Analysis of Data-driven Asynchronous Pipelines via Event-driven Simulation

摘要

A direct way to get the throughput of an asynchronous circuit would be through simulations. However, traditional simulation-based throughput analysis methods cannot achieve both accurate in estimates and quick in runtimes. In this paper, we propose an event-driven simulator to estimate the throughputs of asynchronous pipelines. Experimental results show the efficiency of the method.
