A region-based theory for state assignment in speed-independent circuits
(1997-08)
Article
Open AccessState assignment problems still need satisfactory solutions to make asynchronous circuit synthesis more practical. A well-known example of such a problem is that of complete state coding (CSC), which happens when a pair ... -
A symbolic algorithm for the synthesis of bounded Petri nets
(Springer, 2008)
Conference report
Open AccessThis paper presents an algorithm for the synthesis of bounded Petri nets from transition systems. A bounded Petri net is always provided in case it exists. Otherwise, the events are split into several transitions to guarantee ... -
Automatic synthesis and optimization of partially specified asynchronous systems
(Association for Computing Machinery (ACM), 1999)
Conference report
Open AccessA method for automating the synthesis of asynchronous control circuits from high level (CSP-like) and/or partial STG (involving only functionally critical events) specifications is presented. The method solves two key ... -
Automating synthesis of asynchronous communication mechanisms
(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 2005)
Conference report
Open AccessAsynchronous data communication mechanisms (ACMs) have been extensively studied as data connectors between independently timed processes in digital systems. In previous work, systematic ACM synthesis methods have been ... -
Bridging modularity and optimality: delay-insensitive interfacing in asynchronous circuits synthesis
(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 1999)
Conference report
Open AccessTwo trends are of major concern for digital circuit designers: the relative increase of interconnect delays with respect to gate delays and the demand for design reuse. Both pose difficult problems to synchronous design ... -
Checking signal transition graph implementability by symbolic bdd traversal
(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 1995)
Conference report
Open AccessThis paper defines conditions for a Signal Transition Graph to be implemented by an asynchronous circuit. A hierarchy of the implementability classes is presented. Our main concern is the implementability of the specification ... -
Complete state encoding based on the theory of regions
(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 1996)
Conference report
Open AccessSynthesis of asynchronous circuits from Signal Transition Graphs (STGs) and/or State Graphs (SGs) involves solving state coding problems. A well-known example of such problems is that of Complete State Coding (CSC), which ... -

Article
Open AccessThis paper presents a new technique for decomposition and technology mapping of speed-independent circuits. An initial circuit implementation is obtained in the form of a netlist of complex gates, which may not be available ... -
Deriving Petri nets from finite transition systems
(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 1998-08)
Article
Open AccessThis paper presents a novel method to derive a Petri net from any specification model that can be mapped into a state-based representation with arcs labeled with symbols from an alphabet of events (a Transition System, ... -
Designing asynchronous circuits from behavioural specifications with internal conflicts
(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 1994)
Conference report
Open AccessThe paper presents a systematic method for synthesizing asynchronous circuits from event-based specifications with conflicts on output signals. It describes a set of semantic-preserving transformations performed at the ... -
Hardware and Petri nets: application to asynchronous circuit design
(Springer, 2000-06)
Article
Open AccessAsynchronous circuits is a discipline in which the theory of concurrency is applied to hardware design. This paper presents an overview of a design framework in which Petri nets are used as the main behavioral model for ... -
Identifying state coding conflicts in asynchronous system specifications using Petri net unfoldings
(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 1998)
Conference report
Open AccessState coding conflict detection is a fundamental part of synthesis of asynchronous concurrent systems from their specifications as signal transition graphs (STGs), which are a special kind of labelled Petri nets. The paper ... -
Lazy transition systems and asynchronous circuits synthesis with relative timing assumptions

Article
Open AccessThis paper presents a design flow for timed asynchronous circuits. It introduces lazy transitions systems as a new computational model to represent the timing information required for synthesis. The notion of laziness ... -
Lazy transition systems: application to timing optimization of asynchronous circuits
(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 1998)
Conference report
Open AccessThe paper introduces Lazy Transitions Systems (LzTSs). The notion of laziness explicitly distinguishes between the enabling and the firing of an event in a transition system. LzTSs can be effectively used to model the ... -
Logic decomposition of speed-independent circuits

Article
Open AccessLogic decomposition is a well-known problem in logic synthesis, but it poses new challenges when targeted to speed-independent circuits. The decomposition of a gate into smaller gates must preserve not only the functional ... -
Logic design of asynchronous circuits

Conference report
Open AccessSummary form only given. This tutorial aims at motivating the audience to consider asynchronous circuits as a competitive alternative to solve some of the design problems inherent to submicron technologies. One of the main ... -
Methodology and tools for state encoding in asynchronous circuit synthesis
(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 1996)
Conference report
Open AccessThis paper proposes a state encoding method for asynchronous circuits based on the theory of regions. A region in a Transition System is a set of states that “behave uniformly” with respect to a given transition (value ... -
