Counterflow Pipeline Processor, Asynchronous Control Circuit, Arbiter-free implementation, GALA approach to asynchronous design
The paper discusses developing asynchronous control log ics for Sproull’s Counterflow Pipeline Processor (CFPP) without the need for arbiters. As one can see, a syn chronous pipeline control circuit with two-track synchro nization is free from arbitration situations. One can build an asynchronous control circuit by a synchronous prototype using GALA-methodology and design of synchro-stratum which we suggested in our earlier papers.
