Abstract

A number of investigators have continued to discuss application of asynchronous techniques to improve the computational power of computing systems. 2 , 12 , 5 , 9 In fact the need for asynchronous design techniques arose in the earliest machines 26 , 20 , 6 which introduced parallel handling of bits in a number and overlapping of independent operations. The concept of distributed autonomous concurrent processors was essential to the visionary architecture proposed by Holland 16 to support "operating programs floating in a sea of hardware." The importance of such concurrent and asynchronous systems has increased recently because of the availability of entire processing units on one or a few chips and the potential cost reduction of those units. Moreover, it is expected that work on VLSI technology will permit even more complex systems to be reduced to silicon if their design and market analysis have been validated sufficiently to justify the cost. The need for validation prior to costly physical implementation has increased the value of methods and tools which support modeling and analysis.

使用SARA行为图模型分析数据流模型*

许多研究者继续讨论异步技术的应用，以提高计算系统的计算能力。事实上，对异步设计技术的需求在最早的机器26,20,6中就出现了，这些机器引入了并行处理若干位和重叠的独立操作。分布式自治并发处理器的概念对于Holland 16提出的支持“漂浮在硬件海洋中的操作程序”的有远见的体系结构至关重要。由于整个处理单元在一个或几个芯片上的可用性以及这些单元的潜在成本降低，这种并发和异步系统的重要性最近有所增加。此外，预计VLSI技术的工作将允许将更复杂的系统减少到硅，如果他们的设计和市场分析已经得到充分验证，以证明成本是合理的。在昂贵的物理实现之前对验证的需求增加了支持建模和分析的方法和工具的价值。
