Abstract

This paper describes the design and verification of a high-performance asynchronous differential equation solver. The design has low control overhead which allows the average-case delay to be 48% faster (tested at 22 degree C and 3.3V) than any comparable synchronous design (simulated at 100 degree C and 3V. The techniques to reduce completion sensing overhead and hide control overhead at the circuit, architectural, and protocol levels are discussed. In addition, symbolic model checking techniques are described that were used to gain higher confidence in the correctness of the timed distributed control.
