Energy Efficient VLSI and Arithmetic

FPA design |
Eliminating a global clock provides a path to optimizing arithmetic
circuits and other building blocks for the expected delay rather
than the maximum delay. In some cases this can lead to significant
improvement in either energy or performance. We are examining the impact
of asynchrony on common building blocks in digital VLSI systems.
