Abstract Modelling of Asynchronous Micropipeline Systems using
Rainbow Howard Barringer, Donal K. Fellows, Graham Gough, Alan R Williams · 1997
We consider Sutherland's Micropipeline methodology for asynchronous hardware systems and highlight problems of design representation. The Rainbow hardware de sign framework supports such description, simulation and analysis of micropipeline systems. It provides a set of sub-languages each offering a different description style. Components described in the different sub-languages can be fully integrated within a single design. The framework offers abstract design description and rapid simulation at a high level for early simulation and analysis.
