UNDERSTANDING SELF-TIMED CIRCUITS

We are one of a few research groups who study how to replace the rigid clock with more flexible “self-timed” regimes. Self-timed systems allow each small task to take its own natural time just as “self-paced” learning allows each student to learn at his or her own natural pace. Easy tasks finish quickly and take little energy. Difficult tasks require more time and energy. 

In operation a self-timed system is as orderly as a kindergarten playground at recess. Marly and Ivan will show how the parts of such a system interact, and how they can be designed, validated, and tested.
