The purpose of this work is to take an arbitrary 2phase synchronous circuit and eliminate its global clock while preserving its externally visible behavior. This is done by converting it into a set of self-timed combinational circuits with latches and a clock generation network that uses only a local handshake. We discuss the overhead required by this approach to selftiming and outline opportun...

Based on B. Fritzke’s GCS (Growing Cell Structures) we present here a new incremental self-organizing neural network, the Externally Growing Cell Structures (EGCS). Our goals are to speed up the convergence and to improve the generalization performance. The mechanism of internally growing cells in EGCS is the same as in GCS. However, when the Maximum Resource Vertex (MRV) or the Maximum Error V...

The double-cued task switching procedure has recently been introduced as a new way to measure externally cued switch costs. In the present individual differences study, two hundred fifty young adults completed measures of task switching, inhibition, and long-term memory. A latent variable approach was taken to examine the relationships among these cognitive measures. Decomposing the externally ...
