Globally-Asynchronous Locally-Synchronous (GALS) architectures are an
approach to VLSI system design that combines the advantages of both synchronous
and asynchronous design methodologies. The main functionality remains in
independently clocked modules, whereas the communication among these modules is
handled in a self-timed manner. Multi-point data exchange has become key
necessity of modern systems in order to provide the necessary modularity and
extendibility. The lack of proven mechanisms for transferring data between
multiple modules has been a major impediment for applying the GALS techniques
to large designs. This thesis introduces versatile multi-point interconnection
schemes which preserve the self-timed operation.
Thomas Villiger
received the Dipl. Ing. (MSc) and Dr. sc. techn. (PhD)
degrees from the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology (ETH) in 1998 and 2005,
respectively. He joined the Integrated Systems Laboratory of ETH in 1998
as a research and teaching assistant in the VLSI design and test group. His
research interests embrace all aspects of multi-synchronous systems and data
exchange. In 2004, he joined Philips Semiconductors.
