176 Myers, Chris J.Stochastic cycle period analysis in timed circuitsThis paper presents the stochastic cycle period as a performance metric for timed asynchronous circuits. The stochastic cycle period is a sum of weighted delays whose value represents the expected delay of a single cycle in the specification. Each weight denotes the amount of time a delay contribute...1999
177 Myers, Chris J.Verification of delayed-reset domino circuits using ATACSThis paper discusses the application of the timing analysis tool ATACS to the high performance, self-resetting and delayed-reset domino circuits being designed at IBM's Austin Research Laboratory.

182 Tasdizen, TolgaAlgebraic curves that work betterAn algebraic curve is defined as the zero set of a polynomial in two variables. Algebraic curves are practical for modeling shapes much more complicated than conics or superquadrics. The main drawback in representing shapes by algebraic curves has been the lack of repeatability in fitting algebraic...1999
183 Myers, Chris J.Architectural synthesis of timed asynchronous systemsThis paper describes a new method for architectural synthesis of timed asynchronous systems. Due to the variable delays associated with asynchronous resources, implicit schedules are created by the addition of supplementary constraints between resources.
