In  particular, they address a number of challenging problems faced by the  designers of large-scale synchronous digital systems: power  consumption, worst-case timing constraints, and engineering and design  reuse issues associated with the use of a fixed-rate global clock.  Moreover, while for synchronous systems these problems are exacerbated  by increasing system size, asynchronous systems promise to scale more  gracefully. \u003cbr\u003e  \u003cem\u003eSequential Optimization of Asynchronous and Synchronous  Finite-State\u003c\/em\u003e \u003cem\u003eMachines: Algorithms and Tools\u003c\/em\u003e makes three  contributions to the field of sequential optimization for finite-state  machines: 1) it introduces several new provably-optimal algorithms for  the synthesis and optimization of asynchronous finite-state machines  (FSMs); 2) it presents practical software implementations of each of  these algorithms; and 3) it introduces a complete new CAD package,  called MINIMALIST, binding these tools into a state-of-the-art  technology-independent synthesis path for `burst-mode' asynchronous  circuits. Throughout this book, real-world industrial designs are used  as benchmark circuits to validate the usefulness of the tools. As an  additional benefit, some of the theory and tools also provide new  methods for the optimization of synchronous FSMs.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Springer\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2012-10-24\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Paperback\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9781461355434\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-1-4615-1417-6\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 235cm x155cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 258\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer US","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44340562526348,"sku":"9781461355434","price":98.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9781461355434.jpg?v=1775049433","url":"https:\/\/lateknightbooks.com\/products\/9781461355434","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
