WEDNESDAY, June 9, 2004, 4:30 PM - 6:30 PM | Room: 6D
TOPIC AREA:  LOGIC DESIGN AND TEST

   SESSION 34
  Latency Tolerance and Asynchronous Design
  Chair: Marios Papaefthymiou - Univ. of Michigan, Ann Arbor, MI
  Organizers: James C. Hoe, Leon Stok

  This session presents five papers in the areas of latency tolerance and asynchronous design. The first paper describes a technique to automatically correct the functionality of wire-pipelined circuits. The second paper describes an approach to minimizing the latency management overhead in statically schedulable designs. The third paper proposes approaches to estimate wire length and congestions during logic synthesis. The fourth paper presents optimizations to asynchronous logic synthesis by "de-synchronization". The final paper presents a fast algorithm for hazard detection in combinational circuits.
