Micro data flow

Digital computation systems based on transition signal framework have many advantages. The synthesis of a self-timed physical design from a high-level dataflow specification is examined. The approach maps tokens that travel on data and control arcs of a dataflow graph into transitions of the event signals. The two-phase event signal transition style is employed, where both the rising edge and the trailing edge may represent the arrival of a token. The detailed designs of all seven primitives of a dataflow graph are presented
