The rotary pipeline processor is a new architecture for superscalar computing. It is based on a simple and regular pipeline structure which can support several ALUs for efficient dispatching of multiple instructions. Register values flow around a rotary pipeline, constrained by local data dependencies. During normal operation the control circuits are not on the critical path and performance is only limited by data rates. The architecture is particularly well suited to implementation using self-timed logic.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
