Reconfigurable Asynchronous Logic

Rajit Manohar

Challenges in mapping asynchronous logic to a flexible substrate include developing a balance between circuitlevel flexibility, mapping complexity, and logic overhead. We have developed a reconfigurable dataflow architecture that addresses these challenges, and have also created the necessary synthesis flow required to map designs to the architecture. The architecture exploits some of the unique features of asynchronous logic, and attains a performance that significantly exceeds previous asynchronous FPGAs.
