Although recursive filters are not possible to pipeline at the algorithmic level, it is possible to introduce logic level pipelining and thereby increase the maximal sample rate. This is because the critical path gets shorter so that the circuitry can be clocked faster. However, the latency of the operations increases with increased pipelining. It is of interest to find the optimal degree of pi...

A new parallel-in-parallel-out bit-level pipelined multi-plier is presented to perform multiplication in GF(2 m). The existing designs use m 2 identical cells each having 7 latches and have a system latency of 3m. We start with the Dependence Graph (DG) of the algorithm and pipleine it to achieve a critical path equal to the delay of a 2-input AND and XOR gate. The critical path in the proposed...

The study investigated EFL teachers' current level of critical consciousness as well as their beliefs about the educational context where they taught. The study also explored how gender, teaching experience, workplace and academic degree differentiated the participants with regard to their critical consciousness. Drawing upon the related literature and the existing questionnaires in the field, ...

Clustered voltage scaling is a power reducing method which does not affect the overall system performance. The main idea is to run gates on a non-critical path by a low-voltage supply. Since low-voltage gates are not able to drive high-voltage gates, level-converters are needed. In order to reduce the number of level-converters, which may cancel out the power savings, they are arranged in a clu...

We show how the global critical path can be used as a practical tool for understanding, optimizing and summarizing the behavior of highly concurrent self-timed circuits. Traditionally, critical path analysis has been applied to DAGs, and thus was constrained to combinatorial sub-circuits. We formally define the global critical path (GCP) and show how it can be constructed using only local infor...

In concurrent engineering projects, tasks are usually interdependent among each other that require much iteration before completion where the critical path method/program evaluation and review technique (CPM/PERT) may not be applicable to help estimate the project duration. In addition, carrying out a large-scaled project in a dynamic environment has to deal with various factors at the same tim...

| We present a dynamic programming technique for solving the multiple supply voltage scheduling problem in both non-pipelined and functionally pipelined data-paths. The scheduling problem refers to the assignment of a supply voltage level (selected from a xed and known number of voltage levels) to each operation in a data ow graph so as to minimize the average energy consumption for given compu...
