Abstract

Asynchronous and latency-insensitive circuits offer a similar form of elasticity that tolerates variations in the delays of communication resources of a system. This flexibility comes at the expense of including a control layer that synchronizes the flow of information. This paper proposes a method for eliminating the complexity of the control layer, replacing it by a set of iterative schedulers that decide when to activate computations. Unlike previousapproaches, this can be achieved with low complexity algorithms and without extra circuitry.
