From nowick@cs.columbia.edu Thu May 11 00:35:18 1995 Date: Wed, 10 May 95 19:33:38 EDT From: Steven Nowick To: asynchronous-private@cs.columbia.edu Cc: nowick@cs.columbia.edu Subject: book on asynchronous design Reply-To: asynchronous@hohum.stanford.edu Content-Length: 1365 X-Lines: 38 Status: RO A new book has just appeared on asynchronous design: "Asynchronous Digital Circuit Design", G. Birtwistle and A. Davis, editors, Springer-Verlag (Workshops in Computing Series, 1995). Although the book is based on presentations at the 1993 Banff Workshop on asynchronous design (run by Graham Birtwistle), it is not a "workshop proceedings". Instead, the book contains 5 chapters written especially for publication. Four chapters are technical, each describing a recent design method; one chapter is introductory. Each chapter is about 50-60 pages, and is written as a monograph. The introduction gives a broad overview of the field, and includes almost 150 bibliographic references. Technical chapters: "Parallel Program and Asynchronous Circuit Design" J.C. Ebergen, J. Segers, and I. Benko "Synthesizing Asynchronous Circuits: Practice and Experience" A. Davis "VLSI Programming of Asynchronous Circuits for Low Power" K. van Berkel and M. Rem "Computing Without Clocks: Micropipelining the ARM Processor" S. Furber Introductory chapter: "Asynchronous Circuit Design: Motivation, Background and Methods" A. Davis and S.M. Nowick -Steve Nowick
