| Abstract | This paper presents “surfing, ” a novel variation of wave pipelining. In previous wave pipelined designs, timing uncertainty grows monotonically as data propagates through gates and other logic elements. Our designs propagate a timing pulse along with the data values, and our logic elements have delays that decrease in the presence of the pulse. This produces a “surfing ” effect wherein events are bound in close proximity to the timing pulse. This produces a robust variant of wave-pipelining where timing dispersion is bounded regardless of the length of the pipeline. We demonstrate our approach with the design of a simple proof-of-concept chip. 1 |
