Performance Evaluation Method for Asynchronous Circuit Based on Static Data Flow Structure
Zhiying Wang · 2009
The Static Data Flow Structure (SDFS) is an abstract model of asynchronous circuits,which is very flexible and understandable.A Petri net model which is used for performance analysis was introduced.And a fast performance evaluation method was also introduced,which is very suitable for the very large scale asynchronous circuit design.The size of this model is just half of the traditional Petri-net model for the asynchronous circuits,and the read-arc which was introduced in the previous Petri-net model was eliminated in this model.At last,several experiments were presented to prove the validity of this model.
