GALA approach in design of asynchronous control for counterflowpipeline processor

摘要

This paper approaches the problem of building an asynchronouscontrol for a stage of the Sproull's Counterflow Pipeline Processor(CFPP) that does not need arbiters. It is shown that there is noarbitration situations in a synchronous pipeline control circuit withtwo-track synchronization. An asynchronous control circuit can be builtby a synchronous prototype with help of GALA-methodology using theprocedure of synchro-stratum designing suggested earlier by the authors[1994-6]
